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.

What this stack looks like
Psyllium husk with meals, plus small doses of berberine, myo-inositol, and green tea as a drink or capsule. Start with fiber every day. Add one item at a time, and keep a simple meal pattern you enjoy.
Why it may help
Psyllium slows the rise of blood sugar after you eat, which can smooth those snack attacks between meals. Berberine is popular, but it is not a magic pill. Think of it as a support act for a balanced plate. Inositol may help with insulin sensitivity and metabolic markers in some people. A cup or two of green tea brings EGCG, a plant compound linked with healthy metabolism. Check in with your clinician, especially if you take diabetes or cholesterol drugs or have kidney or liver issues.
How to start in one week
Day 1 to 3: add 1 tsp psyllium with a full glass of water 10 to 15 minutes before your two biggest meals. Day 4 to 5: add myo-inositol 500 mg with a meal. Day 6: brew green tea in the morning and again after lunch. Day 7: if your clinician agrees, add berberine 300 to 500 mg with one meal. Keep protein at each meal, go for a produce side, and take a short walk after eating.

The fiber makes the first difference. Meals feel more satisfying, and late night nibbling eases up. Green tea is an easy win for afternoon energy. Some add berberine later, while others skip it. The goal is steady hunger signals and fewer ups and downs.
