Part 1: $30 million is up for grabs...who wants some?

The Big News:
Learn from this investor’s $100m mistake
In 2010, a Grammy-winning artist passed on investing $200K in an emerging real estate disruptor. That stake could be worth $100+ million today.
One year later, another real estate disruptor, Zillow, went public. This time, everyday investors had regrets, missing pre-IPO gains.
Now, a new real estate innovator, Pacaso – founded by a former Zillow exec – is disrupting a $1.3T market. And unlike the others, you can invest in Pacaso as a private company.
Pacaso’s co-ownership model has generated $1B+ in luxury home sales and service fees, earned $110M+ in gross profits to date, and received backing from the same VCs behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

The government just announced a $30 million grant to help businesses upskill their employees. That’s right—funding to train your team, boost productivity, and increase retention… without spending a dime from your own budget.Why This Matters:
Many businesses are unknowingly losing $2,000–$5,000 per employee each year by not taking advantage of workforce training programs. For companies with 50+ employees, that’s hundreds of thousands of dollars in missed opportunity.Upskilled employees mean:
Higher efficiency and output
Fewer costly mistakes
Better retention (saving recruitment headaches)
A stronger, more competitive business
The Reality:
For every 100 employees, businesses could be missing out on $200,000+ in training grants alone if they don’t act now.Summary:
A $30 million grant is here to help you upskill your employees—stop leaving money on the table and start turning training into a growth engine.
