Investment thesis
Cypress Growth Capital offers royalty-based growth capital as an alternative to equity, giving companies funding in exchange for a fixed percentage of future monthly revenues until repayments reach a set cap. The structure is designed as flexible, long-term debt with entrepreneur-friendly features: it preserves ownership, requires no board seat or control provisions, and adjusts payments to revenue performance. Since 2010 the firm has invested exclusively in SaaS and tech-enabled services companies across the U.S. It positions its capital as a bridge to a later equity raise, recapitalization, or strategic sale, and emphasizes its team's operating and entrepreneurial experience as added value beyond capital.
