Our History
How GrowFund US LLC began, and the values that guide how we operate.
How It All Began
GrowFund US LLC was born from the vision of Al de Palma, an entrepreneur and real estate developer with over a decade of experience in the American market. After completing more than 2,500 tax deed auction transactions over 4 years, Al identified a unique opportunity: combining his expertise in acquiring land at significant discounts with the growing demand for affordable housing in the United States.
What began as a strategy focused on acquiring distressed properties evolved into a vertically integrated ecosystem that controls the entire value chain of real estate development — from land acquisition to modular home manufacturing, construction, and property management.
Recognizing that sophisticated investors seek not only financial returns but also control, transparency, and social impact, Al created the innovative Customizable Fund® structure, allowing investors to specifically choose which projects they want to participate in, rather than the traditional blind pool model.
"Our mission is to create sustainable and consistent returns for accredited investors while addressing one of America's most pressing challenges: the shortage of affordable housing. We believe that well-allocated capital can generate both financial prosperity and social transformation."
The Values That Guide Us
Fundamental principles that define how we operate and make decisions.
Integrity
Capital preservation as priority number one
We structure all investments as secured debt with first-lien positions on real assets. We provide detailed Investment Disclosures for each project, real-time reporting through the AVESTOR platform, and independent valuations to manage conflicts of interest.
You deserve to know exactly where your capital is invested and how it's performing.
Structural & Technological Innovation
We challenge the status quo of real estate fund markets
Our Customizable Fund® structure allows you to choose deal-by-deal, instead of blindly handing over capital. The AVESTOR platform offers a complete institutional experience: real-time project management, automated accreditation verification, centralized documentation, and integrated transactions.
Technology and structure serving investor control.
Accessibility & Professionalism
Institutional infrastructure with accessible experience
Intuitive interface, simplified but rigorous onboarding, and 24/7 access to all relevant information through the investor portal.
Sophistication without unnecessary complexity.
Measurable Social Impact
Financial returns don't exclude social responsibility
Every project we develop directly addresses the affordable housing crisis, providing decent housing for low-income families through programs like Section 8, creating local jobs, and revitalizing underserved communities.
Your capital generates both dividends and dignity.
Mutual Growth
Total alignment of interests
Our success is directly linked to yours. Transparent fee structure, continuous communication via automated quarterly updates, education about market and strategies, and long-term partnership mindset instead of one-off transactions.
We grow together or we don't grow at all.
