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.

Creatine for busy brains
Creatine is cellular fuel for quick energy demands in muscles and the brain. When brain cells have a fuller tank, recall and focus can feel steadier. Curious why researchers care about it beyond the gym? Read this easy summary of clinical studies on memory and attention (This brain-energy review will surprise you).
How much and how to take
Use 3 to 5 grams of creatine monohydrate once a day. No loading needed. Stir into water, coffee, yogurt, or a smoothie. Taking it with a meal helps many people digest it comfortably. A micronized powder mixes well. For labels, look for third party testing such as NSF or Informed Choice. The sports nutrition society explains why plain monohydrate remains the go to form and covers timing basics (Scientist group’s stance on dosing).
What you may notice
Most people track small wins first: fewer word “tip of the tongue” moments, smoother focus in the afternoon, and a little boost during workouts. The timeline is not instant. Give it two to four weeks of daily use, then check in with your notes. Under sleep loss, a single higher dose has shown short term support for thinking speed in a lab setting (Sleep loss experiment that made headlines).

Safety notes
Creatine is among the most studied supplements. Large reviews in healthy adults show no harm to kidney markers at standard doses (Kidney worries? This big study calmed them). That said, if you have kidney disease, high blood pressure, or use diuretics, talk with your clinician first. Start with 3 grams daily and see how your stomach handles it. Drink water through the day.
Make it a tiny ritual
Pick a cue you already do: morning coffee, breakfast bowl, or your lunch. Keep a small scoop in the jar. Track three things for two weeks: focus, word recall, and workout ease. If you miss a day, resume at the next meal without doubling. Pair with a protein rich meal and a short walk to lock in the habit.
Bottom line
A steady 3 to 5 gram scoop of creatine monohydrate each day is a simple tool to support brain energy and focus.
