About Dwight Capital
Dwight Capital was founded in 2014 and is based in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, with offices in New York, Columbus OH and St. Petersburg FL. Crunchbase lists brothers Adam and Josh Sasouness as co-founders. Both serve as co-CEOs and managing principals. The firm is a commercial real estate lender and servicer. It offers bridge and construction loans, FHA/HUD insured loans, C-PACE financing, mezzanine debt and preferred equity. Its website says its affiliates service a loan portfolio of more than $17 billion. Affiliates include Dwight Mortgage Trust, a private mortgage REIT, and Dwight Investment Management. No public source names a partner who leads AI investing. No venture fund or fund size is disclosed.
Dwight Capital has no public AI investment thesis or dedicated venture strategy. Its one disclosed AI investment is Hypha, an AI-native asset intelligence platform for investment workflows. Hypha came out of stealth in June 2026 with a $50M seed round led by TriEdge Investments. Dwight took part alongside Bankwell, Cammeby's International, CFG Bank, Crescent Heights, Monticello and Yakar Partners. Press coverage says many of these investors are also Hypha clients and design partners. The pattern points to a strategic investment from a real estate lender in software built for its own industry. Caplight lists Dwight as a co-investor, not the lead.
The only known AI round Dwight joined is a seed round. Dwight's own check size in Hypha was not disclosed, and the $50M is the size of the whole round. No public source gives a stage focus or typical check size for AI startups. Founders should treat Dwight as a possible strategic backer or customer in real estate, lending and private markets. It is not a standard venture investor.
- Hypha (2026): New York company, co-founded in 2025 by Peter Wang and Simcha Hyman, that builds an AI-native platform to unify investment data and workflows for private credit, real estate and asset managers. Raised a $50M seed in June 2026, led by TriEdge Investments, with Dwight Capital participating.
