Innovation in
Real estate, technology, and media.
In a world increasingly dominated by large institutions and very specialized businesses, John F. Groom has taken a different path, engaging in a wide variety of entrepreneurial ventures, always trying to find a new and better way of creating value, focusing on real estate, technology, and media.
Our current focus is Casa Command, an app we believe will change the way real estate is built, managed, insured, and fixed – and the way that people move.

Technology
Our History
Casa Command integrates imagery and data in a way that allows people to see information in a visual context. It combines innovations in imaging, OCR, Artificial intelligence, image recognition, valuation algorithms, and business models.
It is being developed by a team that includes Groom Ventures employees in the US and India, as well as contractors in Pakistan, Lebanon, and elsewhere.

Real Estate
Our Projects
GV is partnering with the biggest apartment developer in America – one of the biggest real estate companies in the world – to develop approximately 400 apartments on a portion of land owned by GV affiliate Rock Hill Development LLC. This property is located near the future Innovation Metro station in Loudoun County, Virginia, and right across the street from the masive new Rivanna at Innovation Station complex.
Media
Groom Ventures has a long history working with cutting edge technology. In 1996 one of our ventures, Attitude Media, launched the Positive Press website, followed by The Outrage in 1997. These early web ventures garnered a lot of high level publicity.
Through various entities such as Groom Books and Attitude Media, Inc., Groom Ventures has published a wide array of books, web sites, email lists and social media.
Here are some comments about his first website, Positive Press;
- CNNfn: “Success caught Groom by surprise, but sometimes even journalists find it satisfing to learn that nice guys can finish first.”
- Yahoo: “Be sure to contemplate their thought of the day and send in your own good news.”
- USA TODAY: “Positive Saying of the Day has found a niche in cyberspace.”
- Reuters: “Groom chooses bounce-back stories, stories of quiet herosim.
His social media accounts received over 2 millions monthly impressions , and books that he has published have been reviewed in The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and elsewhere. He has given radio interviews to stations around the world, and TV interviews in the US.

The Outrage Reviews
- Web Magazine: “a brilliant use of the Web”
- Netscape’s Netcenter: “Unbridled rants that can brighten even the dullest day”
- The Boston Globe: “John Groom also understands that man’s nature is contradictory”
- Playboy: “Entertaining rants on topics such as NBA labor negotiations and government waste.
