The wealthiest companies target the biggest markets — like Nvidia, skyrocketing ~200% higher in 2024 on the $214 billion AI market’s tailwind. That’s why investors like Pacaso.
Created by the founder behind a $120 million exit, Pacaso’s platform offers easy purchase, ownership, and enjoyment of luxury vacation homes. And their target market is worth $1.3 trillion.
Pixel users, rejoice. A new Google Store will open at 10 a.m. on Friday, May 30 at Domain NORTHSIDE. In addition to retail, the shop will offer Google AI experiences, photography workshops, and a range of free events.

Eat
Citizens — a new cafe serving Australian-inspired fare like fish and chips, chicken schnitzel, and a vegemite board — is now open. The cafe has two locations in New York City and another in Houston, and we’re excited to try something from the breakfast + lunch menu, which is served until 4 p.m.
Number
$35,500. That’s how much Garrison Brothers Distillery raised for the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center from its Lady Bird bourbon sales in 2024. The company’s nonprofit arm, Good Bourbon For A Good Cause, donates $5 from each Lady Bird bottle sale.

The owner of this 53rd-floor penthouse home won’t miss a second of the action Downtown, because it’s located right on Congress Avenue. That aside, the new residents may never want to leave the house due to the panoramic views, Cremo Calcutta marble counters, and top-tier amenities.

$2.80 per share is almost gone. Top firms like SoftBank have already invested in Pacaso, the startup disrupting a $1.3 trillion real estate market.

I hope you’re enjoying the long weekend as much as I am. I’ve spent the extra time off watching season two of “The Rehearsal.” I’m truly amazed at Nathan Fielder’s recreation of the Houston airport.
