About The Fund

AC Ventures, Inc. (ACV) is a privately-owned commercial real estate investment firm with a focus on a broad range of real estate asset classes. Founded in 1992 by David Grieve and headquartered in Sonoma, California, ACV specializes in the acquisition and management of single-tenant net-leased retail, multi-family, industrial/office, restaurant, and mixed-use redevelopment opportunities. They manage a commercial real estate portfolio valued at approximately $800 million, encompassing various holdings across the United States. Their investment philosophy centers on acquiring assets with high intrinsic value that either generate strong recurring cash flow or have value-add characteristics, such as commercial retail, multi-family residences, restaurants, mixed-use properties, and office/industrial spaces. ACV's investment strategy also includes co-investing in each deal with their management team, ensuring their interests are aligned with their high net worth partners to achieve long-term, above-market rates of return in a tax-efficient manner. The firm operates with an investment range, preferring to invest between $100,000 and $5,000,000, with a sweet spot around $1,500,000. AC Ventures is active in various investment specialties, including Seed, Series A, Series B, and general Venture stages. They are also the parent investment company for Diversified Restaurant Group (DRG), which operates as a franchisee of Taco Bell and Arby's, and have business interests in several restaurant and hospitality venues. ACV's industry interests extend to PropTech, Business Solutions, FinTech & Financial Services, Retail & E-Commerce, Analytics, Real Estate & Construction, Consumer, and Pharmaceutical & Medicine sectors.
