NXT Capital’s Venture Finance Group today announced that it has provided a $3.5 million subordinated venture loan to SkyCross, Inc. The facility’s highly flexible structure integrates with the company’s current capitalization structure and gives SkyCross capital to drive its global growth efforts.

SkyCross is a global designer and manufacturer of high-performance antenna solutions for a variety of wireless devices in the mobile phone, personal entertainment and computing industries.

Headquartered in Fremont, CA, SkyCross is backed by TL Ventures, Investor Growth Capital, Intel Capital, Gabriel Venture Partners and DOCOMO Capital.

“NXT Capital Venture Finance really set itself apart by taking the time to truly understand our business,” said Ben Naskar, SkyCross CEO. “From the beginning, NXT proved to be more than just a provider of capital, but a true business partner. We look forward to building our relationship with NXT Venture Finance if future capital needs arise.”
