History

The Company was founded in 1990 by real estate and land developer Paul M. Robshaw, who owned one of the largest real estate brokerage/investment firms in Western New York.[5] Paul continues to operate as Chairman and Managing Partner.

Business Model

AIC Ventures[6] manages a series of real estate private equity funds[7] and provides capital to owners/users of real estate, by purchasing their property and leasing it back to them.[8] The firm claims a no re-trade policy, all cash closing, and no loan or appraisal contingencies as their unique selling points.[9][10]
