Pacaso Raises $35M to Expand Luxury Home Co-Ownership

Among the largest Regulation A+ real estate raises this year, with 10,000+ investors participating

SAN FRANCISCO, July 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Pacaso, the tech-enabled marketplace for co-owned luxury vacation homes, today announced it has raised more than $35 million from more than 10,000 individual investors¹ as part of its ongoing SEC-qualified Regulation A+ offering. This funding milestone reflects strong demand for access to real estate and early-stage equity opportunities.

Founded in 2020 by tech entrepreneurs Austin Allison and Spencer Rascoff, Pacaso enables buyers to co-own luxury vacation homes in top destinations around the world. The company offers ownership shares ranging from one-eighth to one-half, paired with professional management, turnkey design, and full-service support that includes scheduling, maintenance, and resale assistance. Since its launch, Pacaso has facilitated over $1 billion in transactions and service fees and generated more than $110 million in gross profit.

"Pacaso's traction shows that there's real demand for a new way to own and invest in luxury real estate," said Austin Allison, Co-Founder and CEO of Pacaso. "This raise is about opening that opportunity to more people, at a greater scale."

The offering gives both accredited and everyday investors the opportunity to purchase shares in a venture-backed company. Thousands have participated  to date,¹ reflecting clear interest in Pacaso's model and growth plans.

Pacaso's $35 million Tier 2 Regulation A+ raise significantly exceeds the historical Tier 2 average. According to the SEC's Division of Economic and Risk Analysis (DERA), Tier 2 issuers raised an average of $12.5 million from 2015 through 2024 across more than 1,400 offerings.² Few real estate–focused issuers cross the $30 million mark, placing Pacaso's offering among the largest of its kind in the past year.³

The funding milestone follows several strategic growth initiatives, including Pacaso's reservation of the ticker symbol "PCSO" on the Nasdaq. While not a guarantee of future listing, it reflects the company's long-term planning and evolving capital strategy.  Since its inception, Pacaso has now raised over $270 million across four rounds, backed by institutional investors such as Fifth Wall, Greycroft, and Maveron as well as individuals including Howard Schultz. In late 2024, the company launched its current financing round, leveraging Regulation A+ to expand access beyond traditional venture channels.

Pacaso operates in more than 40 top destinations across the United States, Mexico, and Europe. The company is further scaling to meet global demand with recently announced planned expansion into Italy and the Caribbean.

Its 2024 performance reflects that growth and operational discipline:

• $164.5 million in gross real estate transacted and associated fees (excluding whole-home sales)
  
  
• $23.6 million in adjusted gross profit, up 18 percent year-over-year
  
  
• 24 percent improvement in adjusted EBITDA loss, driven by reduced inventory and tighter cost structure

Earlier this year, Newsweek named Pacaso one of America's Greatest Startup Workplaces,⁴ adding to earlier recognition from Forbes as a top startup employer.⁵ These national honors affirm Pacaso's position as a standout company defined by a strong culture, disciplined execution, and a bold vision for long-term growth.

(1)We calculate Adjusted Gross Profit as gross profit under GAAP adjusted for amortization of developed technology, inventory valuation adjustment in the current period, inventory valuation adjustment in prior periods, impairments and write-offs and share-based compensation. Inventory valuation adjustment in the current period is calculated by adding back the inventory valuation adjustments recorded during the period on homes that remain in inventory at period end. Inventory valuation adjustment in prior periods is calculated by subtracting the inventory valuation adjustments recorded in prior periods on homes sold in the current period. Additionally, we calculate Adjusted Gross Profit Excluding Impact of Whole Homes, which is an indication of the performance of our core business offering of selling and managing co-owned real estate and is a useful measure of the volume of transactions that flow through our platform in a given period. We view this metric as an important measure of business performance, as it captures gross profit performance related to units transacted in a given period and provides comparability across reporting periods.

(2) We define Gross real estate transacted and associated service fees, excluding whole home sales, as the total dollar value, less any concessions, of co-ownership transacted during the period which includes co-ownership real estate sales, gain from real estate investments presented gross , real estate services, and the applicable margin on such transactions. We view this metric as an indication of the performance of our core business offering of selling co-owned real estate and is a useful measure of the volume of transactions that flow through our platform in a given period, which ultimately impacts gross profit.

(3) We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss adjusted for interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, non-recurring expense, unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency, non-recurring impairment and write-offs, derivative expense and restructuring expense. Adjusted EBITDA is also adjusted to align the timing of inventory valuation adjustments recorded under GAAP to the period in which the related revenue or net gain on real estate investment is recorded in order to improve the comparability of the measure to our non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted gross profit above. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations, as well as providing a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business performance adjusted for non-recurring or non-cash items. Moreover, we have included Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measurement used by our management internally to make operating decisions, including those related to analyzing operating expenses, evaluating performance, and performing strategic planning and annual budgeting.

(4)Real estate inventory and real estate investments assets combined represent the total gross asset value, net of valuation adjustments and impairments, excluding the impact of associated debt, as real estate investments are presented net of associated debt on the GAAP Balance Sheet.
