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.

No wonder 10K+ everyday people are taking the chance on Pacaso.

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.

🪄 Subject Lines That Actually Open Emails

Apollo breaks down why subject lines are the gatekeepers to your email’s fate, and gives loads of examples of ones that turn into replies, not deletes.

Key Takeaways:

• ✍️ Audience + Personalization = Win: Subject lines with your prospect’s role, company news, or specific pain point outperform generic ones.

• 🧐 Clarity Over Cleverness: Be clear about value, avoid vague hooks or spammy words. Short, relevant, and honest subject lines get more opens.

• 📊 Spark Curiosity & Urgency Smartly: Questions, limited-time offers, or referencing something in their world can move the needle, but only if they feel genuine.

• 🔁 Test Everything: Use A/B testing for subject variants until you find what resonates. Apollo’s analytics tools make it easy to see what opens and what flops.

Key Takeaways:

• 🧑‍💻 AI-Powered Lists: Use Instantly’s Super Search to filter 450M+ leads, enrich profiles, and validate emails before outreach.

• ✍️ Prompt Engineering Wins: The quality of your cold emails depends on how you write prompts—better inputs = more natural outputs.

• 🔄 Automated Sequences: Grok-4 generates personalized intros, main emails, and follow-ups that slot straight into Instantly campaigns.

• 🤔 Human Touch Still Matters: AI handles the heavy lifting, but authenticity, tone, and strategy are still best guided by humans.

📧 Cold Email Isn’t Dead… It’s Just Changed

People ask me all the time if cold email still works. My answer? Not if you’re doing it the old way. The truth is, everything has gotten more complex -- deliverability rules, copy requirements, list quality. But if you know how to play the game, cold email is still one of the most effective ways to fill your pipeline.

Key Takeaways:

• 🛠 Protect Your Domain: I never send from my main domain. We spin up hundreds of lookalike domains and warm inboxes to keep deliverability strong.

• 📝 Keep Copy Simple: I use the PPS PAA formula… Purpose, Problem, Solution, Proof, Ask. Clear, direct, and human always wins.

• 🐾 My Favorite PS: “Every reply = 5 bowls of dog food donated.” It doubled our response rates and made our outreach more human.

• 📊 It’s All About Fit: Deliverability fit, copy fit, and list fit are the three levers. Nail them, and you’ll book meetings consistently.
