About

Pacaso is a San Francisco-based real estate technology company that enables individuals to buy fractional ownership stakes in premium vacation homes, making second-home ownership accessible to a broader range of buyers. Buyers purchase one-eighth to one-half ownership shares in premium homes in desirable vacation destinations including Napa, Park City, Aspen, and Lake Tahoe, with each home structured as a professionally managed LLC. Pacaso handles all property management, maintenance, scheduling, and coordination among co-owners, removing the typical friction of shared ownership. The company uses a proprietary smart-scheduling algorithm to fairly allocate usage time among co-owners based on their ownership share. Pacaso was founded in 2020 by former Zillow CEO Spencer Rascoff and has raised over $1.5B in equity and debt capital from investors including SoftBank, GV, and Greycroft. The company facilitates significant transaction volumes and has faced some community opposition in vacation destination markets concerned about second-home density. It competes with Ember and Arrived Homes in the fractional vacation property market.

About

Bruno is an open-source API client and testing tool — a lightweight, offline-first, git-friendly alternative to Postman and Insomnia — enabling developers to explore, test, and document APIs with collections stored as plain-text Bru files in the project filesystem rather than in cloud-synced proprietary formats. Created by a solo founder in 2022 and growing to a 9-person team by late 2024, Bruno operates with an unusual philosophy: the founder publicly declined 8 venture capital offers to preserve product freedom and build toward profitability, with the core Bruno client remaining free and open-source (MIT license) while the Golden Edition provides enterprise features for commercial revenue. Pro and Ultimate paid editions launched in 2024.
