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.

Hand-picked News
Apple’s playing catch-up—but it’s betting big that its late move into AI search will be a game-changer.
A new team called AKI (Answers, Knowledge, Information) is building an “answer engine” to rival ChatGPT and Gemini
Apple once dismissed chatbot hype—but now it’s all in, with CEO Tim Cook calling AI “as big or bigger” than the internet
The tool could supercharge Siri, Safari, and Spotlight, making Apple’s ecosystem way smarter
Apple doesn’t yet have a standalone AI search app, but this new push could fill that gap fast. The AKI team is led by Robby Walker and reports directly to Apple’s AI chief—so it’s serious.
✅ Apple’s late entry might actually be strategic: it’s done this before with the iPhone, iPad, and Mac—and still dominated.
👀 If Apple nails this, it could redefine how we search, ask questions, and interact with devices—without ever leaving its ecosystem.
OpenAI’s chatbot isn’t just growing—it’s exploding, and it’s changing how millions of people work, learn, and create.
ChatGPT is on track to hit 700M weekly users, up from 500M just four months ago
Over 130M users created 700M+ images after GPT-4’s image tools launched
The app now has 5M paying business users, up from 3M in June
OpenAI’s VP says usage has quadrupled since last year, and users now spend an average of 16 minutes/day on ChatGPT—just behind Google and X.
✅ This isn’t hype anymore—ChatGPT is becoming a core utility, not just a cool tool. 👀 If you’re not using it regularly, you might be missing out on the new default for productivity and creativity.
Try using ChatGPT to summarize your inbox or brainstorm your next post—it’s faster than you think.
After missing earnings, Spotify is turning to its users to make up the difference—and not everyone’s happy.
Premium prices jump from €10.99 to €11.99 across Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and more
The hike follows a rough quarter where Spotify’s stock dropped 11% after missing revenue targets
CEO Daniel Ek says he’s “unhappy” with performance but “confident” in the company’s long-term vision
Spotify raised U.S. prices last year, and now it’s expanding that strategy globally. Subscribers will get email notices over the next month.
⚠️ Streaming costs are creeping up, and users are paying more without seeing major new features. ✅ Spotify’s stock rose 5% in premarket trading after the announcement—investors liked it, but will users?
If you’re paying for Premium, now’s a good time to check if you’re actually using all the features—or if it’s time to explore alternatives.
