Cirasys, a provider of digital power control technology, is a spin-off from the University of Texas at Dallas. The company is based at the school’s Venture Development Center.
Cirasys will receive an initial $250,000 investment with a potential for another $750,000 over three years if certain milestones are met, according to Maria Smith, executive director of the North Texas RCIC.
Overall, the North Texas RCIC has helped 41 companies land $53.2 million from the fund (with a reserve of an additional $5 million for companies that reach certain milestones.)
