Cypress Growth Capital Invests in AirSight

Cypress Growth Capital is pleased to announce our investment in AirSight, a Dallas-based provider of an integrated software and hardware solution for detecting, tracking, visualizing, and thwarting airborne drone threats.

Historically, security has focused on land-based perimeters. However, with the increasing prevalence of drones, aerial security has become vital to protect critical infrastructure, prevent contraband from entering prisons, and safeguard people at large gatherings. Launched in 2019, AirSight’s drone detection solution integrates multiple sensor types into a single software platform used by prisons, oil refineries, gas pipelines, stadiums, law enforcement, ports of entry, live events, airports, and universities to manage the growing risk of airborne threats.

"It was important to find a partner who also offers guidance and support based on real-world experience leading and scaling tech companies."

“As a bootstrapped company raising outside capital for the first time, it was important to find a partner who also offers guidance and support based on real-world experience leading and scaling tech companies,” said Robert Tabbara, AirSight’s Founder and CEO. “The Cypress team’s collective entrepreneurial and operating backgrounds will be valuable in assisting us in navigating key inflection points as we accelerate growth.”

“Facilities that don’t properly secure their airspace will be vulnerable to aerial threats and AirSight has built an effective turnkey solution to address this growing need,” said Cypress Partner Vincent Hsieh. “We look forward to partnering with Robert and his management team on this exciting phase of their journey. ”

AirSight will invest Cypress’ non-dilutive growth capital in channel expansion, sales, marketing, and software development
