Cypress Growth Capital Invests in PFA Solutions

$2 million Non-Dilutive Funding for Financial Industry SaaS Solution

We are pleased to announce our investment in PFA Solutions, a Virginia-based provider of software solutions tailored to the unique needs of private equity, venture capital, and other alternative asset management and investment firms.

Founded in 2013, PFA offers a SaaS platform for complex compensation management, investor relations and fund reporting. The company’s flagship product, FirmView, is an interactive, firm-wide dashboard that allows investment firms to manage carried interest and compensation for the full life cycle of their funds, supporting employee co-investments and base, bonus and other compensation arrangements on a fund and deal-by-deal basis.

“We partnered with Cypress because of their backgrounds as entrepreneurs and operators with more than a decade of success backing the next generation of emerging growth companies,” said Richard Change, PFA’s Co-Founder & Managing Partner. “In addition, their non-dilutive capital allows us to preserve control of our direction and our valuable equity, both of which are important as we’ve reached an inflection point of growth.”

“As investment firms have grown in size and complexity, the importance of compensation structures and employee satisfaction has increased,” said Cypress Managing Director Vik Thapar. “PFA helps firms manage these issues in a streamlined manner saving investment managers time and money. The executives at PFA have deep industry expertise and relationships. We are very excited about the company's future.”

Cypress’ capital will be used to enhance PFA’s implementation and support infrastructure, expand the FirmView platform’s capabilities, and accelerate growth through sales and marketing.
