Institutional investors back startups to unlock outsized returns. Meanwhile, 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? That’s worth $1+ million, up 89,900%. No wonder thousands 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 also backed Pacaso. 

And you can join them as an early-stage investor for just $2.90/share.

Tomorrow's Trade Idea, Today

VEEVA LA REVOLUCIÓN

A Fresh Upgrade

Veeva Systems $VEEV ( ▼ 0.04% ) is winning new fans on Wall Street. JPMorgan’s Alexei Gogolev upgraded the cloud software provider to Overweight from Neutral, lifting his price target to $330 — about 17% above today’s close.

The analyst cited market share gains, steady revenue growth, and new opportunities from a recently announced partnership. Shares are up more than 34% this year, helped by an August earnings report that topped expectations.

Analysts at UBS $UBS ( ▼ 1.31% ) and Piper Sandler $PIPR ( ▲ 0.18% ) also raised their targets following the results. Most covering the stock now rate it a Buy or Strong Buy, according to LSEG data.

Data, Dollars, and Demand

Veeva focuses on helping life sciences firms manage data and regulatory compliance. Gogolev estimates its total addressable market at $20 billion, with Veeva growing revenue at about 20% annually over the past five years — far faster than the mid-single-digit pace of the broader industry.

Looking ahead, JPMorgan expects revenue growth to average 13% annually over three years, supported by free cash flow margins above 40%. Gogolev pointed to the company’s “competitively differentiated platform” and breadth of offerings as advantages over rivals such as Salesforce $CRM ( ▼ 0.08% ).

Truce Tailwind

A key development is Veeva’s new long-term partnership with clinical research services provider Iqvia $IQV ( ▲ 1.04% ).

The two companies, once locked in legal disputes, will now allow their data and services to interoperate, creating fresh monetization opportunities. JPMorgan said this collaboration, combined with Veeva’s investments in agentic AI, could accelerate growth.

Consensus targets still leave room for upside. The average sits near $313, with the highest at $355. Whether Veeva can keep beating expectations may hinge on how well it capitalizes on its new partnership — and on how long-lived its lead in life sciences cloud software proves to be.

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 Maveron, Greycroft, and more. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

And you can join them for just $2.90/share. Just don’t wait. Pacaso’s opportunity officially ends September 18.
