Hello Searchfunder community. My name is Shale Gulbas - I'm a VP with Dallas-based Cypress Growth Capital (cypressgrowthcapital.com). Historically my firm has invested in high-growth, bootstrapped tech and tech-enabled service businesses via a non-dilutive royalty model. I believe that our unique financing structure is well-suited for searchers who are looking to invest generally in technology companies. Our broad investment criteria can be found below. Please message me if you have any questions or would like to know more.

Cypress Growth Capital provides unique, non-dilutive capital in the form of a royalty-based loan. Compared to traditional debt, our solution provides much more flexibility with minimal covenants, no fixed payments, and no personal guarantees. Additionally our cost of capital is capped and much less expensive than equity.
