How 433 Investors Unlocked 400X Return Potential

Institutional investors back startups to unlock outsized returns. 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? They got a 400X buyout offer from the company, as Revolut’s valuation increased 89,900% in the same timeframe.

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 backed Pacaso. And you can join them. But not for long. Pacaso’s investment opportunity ends September 18.

This LinkedIn creator just shared a sharp list of 10 prompting hacks, and previewed 5, that can seriously level up your ChatGPT and LLM results.

Key Idea

You don’t need complicated tools; you need clearer instructions. The post’s author zeroes in on five simple moves: give the model a role, specify the output format, request step-by-step reasoning, ask for chain-of-thought when appropriate, and force a self-check. I love how direct these are; you can copy-paste and see an immediate lift.

Three Insights You Can Use Today

  • Design the voice and the wrapper: Give the model a job title and shape the output container. Roles set expertise and tone, while formats prevent messy answers. Two copy-ready examples from the expert are “Act as a financial advisor with 20 years’ experience. Explain long-term stock investment strategies,” and “List five Italian dishes in a table with columns for name, region, and main ingredients.”

  • Make it think in steps and verify: Step-by-step prompts produce clearer logic, and a built-in self-audit reduces errors. Use both for clarity plus accuracy. From this savvy professional, for example: “Explain how solar panels work step-by-step, for a 10-year-old,” and “Give me the top 3 causes of climate change, then double-check your answer for accuracy.”

  • When to ask for the “why”: The creator suggests chain-of-thought to see the reasoning path. That’s useful for learning and catching logic gaps. If you’re in a sensitive or time-pressed context, you can also ask for a brief rationale or bullet outline instead. An original example is: “Show your reasoning before giving the final verdict: Is the statement ‘all squares are rectangles’ true?”

Here’s why this resonated with me: most prompt issues aren’t about knowledge gaps, they’re about instructions that are too vague. The mind behind it shows that a few concrete constraints change everything: role, format, process, and a final check.
