Sweetwater Capital Corporation, one of the nation’s fastest growing boutique merchant banking firms for business brokerage, and finance, today announced three new clients, according to Tarby Bryant, Sweetwater Capital’s managing partner. The firm offers merchant banking services of both equity and debt financing to companies and real estate projects looking for capital.

Bryant recently launched a new website for Sweetwater Capital at SweetwaterCapitalCorporation.com. and announced the following new clients of Sweetwater Capital:

• RaaS 99 – Austin, TX-based AI company provides a virtual caregiver and avatar for patients going through cancer treatment. Initially focused on women’s breast cancer issues, the AI-driven avatar navigates the interactions between patient, doctor, family, and caregivers that occur during time away from the clinic. This $5M seed round will fully develop the AI avatar with early traction and support at Texas Oncology and MD Anderson.

• Hooks Business Group/PEMB – St Mary’s, GA company manufactures and sells pre-engineered metal buildings and had sales of more than $11M with 17 employees in 2023. The company is seeking a $15M below-market loan or industrial revenue bond to grow the business to $30M, expand the team to 35 employees, build and own a new manufacturing facility, and add new SteelTek software.

• Los Angeles Land Holdings – Two seasoned developers are seeking $1.250M in seed capital for an $83M market-rate apartment project on five acres in Palmdale, CA, a nearby suburb of Los Angeles. The developers plan 250-unit apartments to address the unmet need for housing for ‘at risk’ and the ‘workforce community.’

“Our six Sweetwater Capital partners and advisors are seasoned C-suite executives and finance-trained professionals solely focused on client outcomes and their success,” Bryant said. “We welcome these new clients and look forward to helping them continue to grow.”
