Entrepreneurial Hunger
Abranova was launched with a streak of innovation on all aspects of the business, including its capital structure. According to Bloomberg, about 13% of American households qualify as accredited investors with a net worth of a million dollars or annual incomes of at least three hundred thousand dollars. According to Federal Reserve data, accredited investor households controlled roughly $73.3 trillion in wealth in 2020 – which is around 76.3% of all private wealth in America.
Abranova constantly seeks inspiration from the titans of the industry, one of which is David Rubenstein’s industriousness in capital formations and seeking investment wisdom.
Sam Zell’s ingenuity in real estate is only superseded by his drive as a businessman, his theories have been the founding principles of our vertical integration.
Innovative Capital
Since our founding in 2017, most of our capital comes f rom accredited investors through an SEC regulated framework. The investment offerings are based on the Jobs Act that was signed into law by Obama in 2012, which allowed non-IPO companies to raise capital from the public. We work with legal experts in the field to structure the investment offerings and file for all public disclosure requirements. Moreover we’ve ever since expanded our investors base to include high-net worth individuals and institutions.

BE PART OF THIS
Why’s This A Historic Opportunity
The US needs to build over 5 million homes to meet the current demand of housing, this presents an enormous opportunity for Abranova to scale as a vertically integrated construction developer.
Wealth creation has created disposable and investable income in American households that continue to play a pivotal role in capital markets. The Jobs Act opened a door to the $73.3 trillion accredited investor capital in the US to non-IPO companies like Abranova.
Shifting wealth demographics in America has created diversity in capital and investment markets that has opened doors to minority-owned businesses to compete and attain substantial market share.
The crypto industry and the COVID pandemic has legitimized virtual platforms as a place to do business and make valid investment decisions. It’s much easier today to earn credibility as a virtual investment platform than ever before.
Access to information and data technologies has allowed us to create efficiencies and arbitrage opportunities in constructions costs management in a way that hasn’t been possible before.
Recent macroeconomic disruptions such as pandemics and inflation have necessitated companies adopting interdisciplinary sensitivities in order to drive innovation and deploy data analytical tools in order to create arbitrage and cost saving opportunities in construction.
The institutionalization of single family homes and townhomes, a once mom-and-pop asset class, has created tremendous opportunity for companies like Abranova to capture sizable market share in the build-to-rent construction development space. With growth, this will paves ways for us to not only enter and compete in other construction sectors but also attract institutional investors such as hedge funds to buy our stock when we’re ready to go public.
The GOAL
To Reach $0.5B Annual Revenues in 5 Years.
