He’s Already IPO’d Once – This Time’s Different
Spencer Rascoff co-founded Zillow, scaling it to a $16B valuation. But everyday investors couldn’t invest until the IPO, missing early gains. So he made sure that wasn’t the case with Pacaso. Pacaso has made $100M+ in gross profits by disrupting the $1.3T vacation home market. And unlike Zillow, you can invest while Pacaso is private.

“Spainfully” Good Times All Around in Madrid with Two Bad Tourists
Madrid is one of—if not the—most gay-friendly cities in the world, making it Two Bad Tourists-friendly as well. We love it so much, in fact, that we ended up settling here ourselves during our globetrotting adventures. Now, we humbly invite you to visit us for our 7 Days in Spain – Madrid, Toledo & Segovia from September 18-24, 2025.
We’ll show you all the big attractions, from the gorgeous Atocha Park to the Royal Palace, before wining and dining you in the city’s best restaurants. David will take you on a historic tour of the city, Isaac on a tapas tour, and Richard out for a—sure to be eventful—night on the town in Chueca. They’ll be a visit to the spectacular Reina Sofia gallery - home to Picasso's Guernica - and even an authentically Spanish drag queen show over dinner. Next, we’ll visit two nearby towns, Segovia and Toledo—each with its own tales to tell of Spanish culture and history. Viva España, Viva Madrid! Read our reviews here.
