A.J. Rounds

About

I launched Arlyn Capital to honor two remarkable legacies: my father, Arlyn E. Rounds, a visionary real estate developer who transformed communities before his life was tragically cut short, and my unborn son, Arlyn Royce Rounds, who carries his grandfather's name. This fund is more than a special purpose investment vehicle (SPV); it’s a tribute and a mission. After co-founding RevRoad to solve complex problems in the venture capital world, I’m now directing my focus on Arlyn Capital—a company built to tackle one of the most urgent challenges in America: affordable housing. We’re not just providing housing; we’re making strategic investments that deliver outsized returns with minimal risk, creating sustainable value for both communities and investors. Arlyn Capital funds single-family and townhome developments across the Midwest and Southwest, collaborating with seasoned partners Lone Tree USA and Union Capital Partners. Together, we represent a portfolio of $360 million in projected projects. Our goal? To bring nearly a thousand quality housing units to market, in the first fund, addressing the nation’s housing deficit and providing investors with secure, high-yield opportunities.
