About Us

A family-owned business.
Built from lived experience.

We are a family-owned Connecticut business based in Waterbury, created to support homeowners and families navigating difficult housing and financial situations.

How We Started

Groupvestors started the same way many things start in immigrant families: with a problem, a conversation, and people coming together to help.

In May 2025, when our family needed access to cash and traditional options were limited, our relatives stepped in using something we had seen our entire lives growing up Caribbean — Sols, Susus, and other forms of group savings built on trust instead of paperwork.

What could have been a stressful financial situation became a reminder of how powerful community support can be when people move together.

That experience became the foundation for Groupvestors.

Who We Are

Lovens and Roo Gjed.

We own and manage Groupvestors, a platform created to support homeowners and families navigating difficult financial situations. Our work is shaped by the communities we grew up around — stretching from Stamford to Willimantic — where collective savings, shared responsibility, and helping one another have always been part of daily life.

Our family first arrived in Connecticut during the 1980s and helped establish the first Haitian restaurants and church communities in the State. Long before "community investing" became a business trend, we watched families pool resources together to pay bills, buy homes, support relatives, and create opportunities for the next generation.

We entered the real estate world in 2016, working across sales, project management, and healthcare. Over the years, we have collectively direct-managed more than $50 million in RE assets for larger companies.

We are proud parents of 2 boys and members of the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception church in Waterbury.
