CloudStreet is a different kind of business buyer. Unlike a private equity fund or strategic buyer (your competitor), we are solely focused on ONE acquisition to create value by driving the best results possible over the long term for ONE company.
While we are looking for a business with EBITDA of $2-$10 million with stable growth and profit, we are also equally committed to win-win acquisition strategies based on owner and company needs for the short and long term.
Why Us?
You have built a great business and if you believe it is the right time to exit, we are your people.
You can remain invested, become an advisor or take a step back- whatever your preference, we work with you…
Dream it.
We operate by being very transparent and upfront from the get go! We believe your time is as important as ours, and we don’t pursue opportunities unless we can find a win-win angle for both parties.
We aren’t your typical buyer, we do not renegotiate! We are honest and we expect the act to be reciprocated. Our offer is banked on trust and critical information and both should be solid. Because our aim is to not waste time but conduct a due diligence effectively and rapidly leading to a fruitful acquisition.
Build it.
We believe in buying a great business that has great potential! Our aim and efforts will be focused on driving returns for all parties involved by applying our transferable skills from running large and mid-sized companies. We focus on developing potential through innovation, through investing cash for growth, through geographic and segment expansion, through consultation with outside experts, and not through the cost cutting and financial engineering used by most strategics.
Sustain it.
We and our investors are NOT in the business of flipping businesses! Our acquisition strategy excludes businesses that require a turn around with focused intent and rigor.
Our single mission is to find a company that has a great team and culture that allows us to build the company on top of what is already existing, sustainable and highly valuable.
We will continue to do what you do well…
Retention is the single most powerful element for growth. Whatever your business, we are here to sustain your legacy and continue to grow your business to the next level…

CloudStreet.
“Run one business for years to come while sustaining the legacy of the acquired company.” - CloudStreet
CloudStreet investors acquire a company to first and foremost sustain the original value of the acquisition by making concerted efforts to learn about the business, its people and operations while also identifying opportunities for expansion, eliminating competition, or enhancing offers and services for that ONE company for the long term.
Private Equity.
“A Money Monster that eats up companies and spits them out as the husks of what they once were!”- Vox
Private equity is funded by institutional investors — meaning pension funds, sovereign governments, and endowments — who meet a certain set of criteria that allow them to make riskier bets.
Strategics.
“Most acquisitions fail based upon incompatible cultures. Culture within a business is how people treat one another, their customers, suppliers, investors, partners & even competitors. It’s about a company’s values and beliefs that are guiding and defining principles of conduct.” - Forbes
Strategic buyers are conglomerates interested in acquiring companies to fit them into their own long-term business plans.
