With 10 investments in the past 15 months and another deal expected to close soon, Cypress Growth Capital is expanding its team to support its growing portfolio. The Dallas-based private equity firm recently welcomed new partner Cliff Sentell with the launch of its fifth fund—and looks to make additional hires in the near term.
Dallas-based Cypress Growth Capital is defying norms in the funding landscape. Not your traditional venture capitalist, this trailblazing firm hit a landmark with its 50th portfolio investment—and fourth major play this year—a $4 million stake in medical records disruptor, ChartSquad. Managing Director Vik Thapar peels back the curtain on the firm's unique model, which fosters rapid growth without diluting entrepreneurial control.
In this week’s North Texas deal flow, you’ll also find news about Taysha Gene Therapies landing a $50M investment; music tech startup MAX’s Series B raise; Dallas Venture Capital’s latest investment; Tyler Technologies’ $68M acquisition of Rapid Financial Solutions; NaturalShrimp hitting the Nasdaq Capital Market; and more.
Dallas-based ParkHub—which manages parking operations and payments for businesses, municipalities, and venues like AT&T Stadium and American Airlines Center, while delivering analytics and insights—has acquired Dallas payment processing integrator Fuzse for an undisclosed amount. It's the latest in a string of deals struck by ParkHub.
The move comes after ParkHub raised around $100 million in January in a growth investment round aimed at driving "complementary acquisition opportunities."
