110 Investors in American Ventures Projects Declare Full Understanding of Investment Terms, Directly Contradicting Claims Made by Litigants

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--American Ventures, a Texas-based real estate investment and development firm, today announced that 110 investors across its Elgin, Texas and San Marcos, Texas development projects have formally affirmed that they understood the terms, structure, and disclosures of their investments directly contradicting claims recently advanced by four litigants against the company.

This latest development builds on a prior public show of investor support. On April 2, 2026, American Ventures announced via Business Wire that “More Than 80 Investors Formally Express Confidence in Firm’s Leadership, Transparency, and Integrity” — a demonstration that drew widespread attention and reinforced the strength of the investor community’s relationship with the firm.

The investor affirmations confirm that investors reviewed the Private Placement Memorandum and related offering materials, understood the double-close transaction structure employed in the San Marco and Elgin projects, were aware of related-party disclosures, and made their investment decisions voluntarily and independently. Investors further affirmed that they had not experienced any misrepresentation of price or structure, and that funds have been used consistently with advancing the projects.

“We are deeply grateful for the trust and support of our investor community,” said Shravan Parsi, Founder and CEO of American Ventures. “The fact that 110 investors have come forward to affirm their full understanding of our transaction structures speaks volumes. These are accredited investors, sophisticated, informed individuals who reviewed our materials thoroughly, asked the right questions, and made sound investment decisions. We appreciate their continued confidence and remain fully committed to resolving any outstanding issues and bringing both the Elgin and San Marcos projects to a successful completion.”
