Top investors are buying this “unlisted” stock

When the team that co-founded Zillow and grew it into a $16B real estate leader starts a new company, investors notice. That’s why top firms like SoftBank invested in Pacaso.

Disrupting the real estate industry once again, Pacaso’s streamlined platform offers co-ownership of premier properties – revamping a $1.3T market.

By handing keys to 2,000+ happy homeowners, Pacaso has already made $110m+ in gross profits.

Now, after 41% gross profit growth last year, they recently reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO. But the real opportunity is now, at the unlisted stage.

Until May 29, you can join Pacaso as an investor for just $2.80/share.

Invest before the window closes.

Reserving a ticker symbol is not a guarantee that the company will go public. Listing on the NASDAQ is subject to approvals. Under Regulation A+, a company has the ability to change its share price by up to 20%, without requalifying the offering with the SEC.}

As we recognize Memorial Day, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their courage, sacrifice, and legacy remind us why support, connection, and purpose matter - not just on the battlefield, but in our everyday lives.

At Squared Away, we carry that spirit forward through meaningful work. Founded and led by military spouses, our mission is grounded in service - supporting clients like you by matching you with exceptional virtual assistants who understand flexibility, resilience, and getting the job done under pressure.

Summer is Here: Is Your Business Ready?

Memorial Day doesn’t just mark a solemn occasion, it signals the unofficial start of summer, and with it comes a whole new layer of chaos. Between juggling vacations, kids being home, adjusted routines, and unexpected travel plans, even the most organized business owners and leaders can feel overwhelmed.

This is where your virtual assistant becomes your summer superpower.

Whether you’re a solo founder, a fast-moving team lead, or an executive balancing life and leadership, having a reliable assistant by your side makes all the difference.

Here are a few high-impact ways to partner with your assistant this summer:

1. Batch Before You Beach

Set up weekly workflows so your assistant can batch-create content, manage your calendar, and schedule recurring tasks in advance. That way, when you step away for vacation—or just need a breather—your business doesn’t skip a beat.

Example: Have them schedule social media, prep newsletter drafts, or send weekly client touchpoints on autopilot.

2. Delegate the Travel Details

Flying for work? Road-tripping with the kids? Your assistant can take care of everything: comparing flight deals, mapping out driving routes, organizing travel docs, updating Google Calendars, and even calling ahead to confirm reservations.

Pro Tip: Share your TSA PreCheck or frequent flyer info once, and let your assistant handle the rest.

3. Kid Calendar Coordination

Summer camps, playdates, grandparents visiting, co-parenting schedules—when your family calendar starts looking like a Rubik’s cube, your assistant can help color-code, sync, and simplify it all.

Bonus: They can also help research new summer programs or tutors and manage sign-ups before spots fill.

✅ 4. Inbox Detox

You don’t have to come back from a long weekend to 900 unread emails. Let your assistant filter and flag what’s important, respond to common inquiries, and archive the fluff. With a few smart templates in place, your inbox can work for you not against you.

✅ 5. Keep the Wheels Turning

Even while you're away or slowing down, projects don’t have to stall. Assistants can handle ongoing client check-ins, data entry, CRM updates, billing follow-ups, and even team coordination.

Thoughtful Delegation = Stress-Free Summer

The key to getting the most out of your assistant this summer is proactive communication. Schedule a 15-minute weekly check-in to set priorities, shift timelines, and flag what’s changing.

Remember: Delegation is a skill, and summer is the perfect time to practice it with purpose.

Why Our Assistants Stand Out

What makes a Squared Away assistant different? Every assistant we hire is a highly skilled military spouse - people who know how to manage chaos, adapt on the fly, and lead with empathy.

These are individuals who’ve moved across the country with little notice, handled deployments, raised families while working remotely, and supported their communities in every imaginable way. If you want someone who shows up with grit, grace, and a mission mindset - this is your person.

From Our Clients:

Need a Right Hand? We’re Ready.

If you’re feeling the summer squeeze and need support fast, don’t wait. Let’s match you with a military spouse assistant who will transform the way you work and live.

This Memorial Day, we honor service. This summer, let us serve you.
The best way to honor those who gave everything is to live with intention. We’re here to make that a little easier.
