How 433 Investors Unlocked 400X Return Potential
Institutional investors back startups to unlock outsized returns. Regular investors have to wait. But not anymore. Thanks to regulatory updates, some companies are doing things differently.
Take Revolut. In 2016, 433 regular people invested an average of $2,730. Today? They got a 400X buyout offer from the company, as Revolut’s valuation increased 89,900% in the same timeframe.
Founded by a former Zillow exec, Pacaso’s co-ownership tech reshapes the $1.3T vacation home market. They’ve earned $110M+ in gross profit to date, including 41% YoY growth in 2024 alone. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.
The same institutional investors behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay backed Pacaso. And you can join them. But not for long. Pacaso’s investment opportunity ends September 18.

Washington Nationals 2025 Season
THE LEAD

Another day, another two-hit day for Daylen Lile, including a solo shot into the Nats’ bullpen (although he also got picked off of first with the Nats trailing by five). Lile entered the day with a 120 wRC+, third among all National League rookies behind Jakob Marsee and Isaac Collins. For a guy who was not expected this spring to impact the major league roster, Lile has forced his way into the conversation as a lineup mainstay in 2026. His defense and awareness on the bases still leave something to be desired, but the hitting ability (.292/.342/.470) reminds one of a young Howie Kendrick with better wheels. THAT would be a great outcome.

Game Recap

Lile got the scoring started last night, but that was all the Nats were able to muster against Spencer Strider - the only other time they threatened him was loading the bases in the fourth before Dylan Crews, pressing, failed to check his swing on two sliders in the other batter’s box before tapping a ball three feet in front of the plate for an inning-ending double play. The Barves, meanwhile, had scored two in their half of the fourth to take a 2-1 lead, then got a three-run bomb from Matt Olson in the next inning to take control of the game. They added another in the sixth and two more in the seventh to take a commanding 8-1 lead before Strider gave way to the bullpen. Connor Seabold allowed a pair of runs to score in the eighth, but James Wood deadened the potential rally with a GIDP (that scored the second run), and then Ronald Acuña Jr. got one back with a moonshot in the top of the ninth, followed three batters later by Drake Baldwin with one of his own with a man on. Bad guys win, 11-3.
STORY TYPE
Henry to the IL

Prior to Sunday’s game, the Nationals placed Cole Henry on the 15-day IL with a lat strain, ending his season. Although he struggled in his last few appearances, for Henry to pitch almost a full major league season with a normal reliever’s workload (57 games, 52.2 innings) is a massive win for him, three years removed from a surgery that ends careers more often than not. Here’s hoping he can stay healthy over the winter and be ready to contribute again as a setup guy in 2026.
