What does the path to joining Your.Cloud look like?
Getting to know each other
Our journey most of the times starts with a cup of coffee to get to know each other. You can share your vision for your clients company, and we can outline how we can help you achieve that. If we both feel there's a fit, we'll move on to the next step.
1
Assessment & indicative offer
A business isn't just made up of visions and ambitions, the numbers matter. We invest in companies that are already in good shape, to help them become great. So we'll set up a virtual data room where we can safely exchange information, and we'll work out in what way our investment can best benefit all parties involved.
2
Letter of Intent
If all the numbers check out, our visions align and all parties involved have faith in a positive outcome we sign a Letter of Intent. From that point we are committed to each other to make the deal work and we can start focussing on the details.
3
Due Diligence
To get a good understanding of what makes the business tick and what we can further add to make it flourish, the due diligence is perhaps one of the most extensive and detail oriented stages of the deal. We'll take a closer look at the details of the business to see if all the assumptions made in our offer and Letter of Intent check out. The outcome of the due diligence is the foundation for a joined future.
4
Signing and closing
Once we reached final agreement on all the details, we can sign and close the deal. This is where the coffee turns into champagne, and the starting point of a great new chapter in the entrepreneurs life. But, it is only the beginning!
5
PR and communications
There are lot of people we need to tell about this great new venture. While working towards the closing, we have already been preparing press releases and a media kit. Your client can tell its customers, employees and other partners that they've joined Your.Cloud, and can't wait to start building a new future with us!
6
Onboarding
Things are moving fast now. After the news breaks we are starting the onboarding process. We will host a town hall meeting where your clients people can meet the Your.Cloud team and ask them everything they want to know about us. Then starts the so called 100-day program: a detailed step by step process of aligning processes and connecting the right people to our Your.Cloud Community Leads to help get your client on boarded as soon as possible.
7
Time to grow
During the Due Diligence and the 100-day program we will have had time to assess in what way we can best help your client take the next step. That might mean introducing them to our playbooks, help with process optimisations or get to leveraging our economy of scale to benefit their bottom line. This is it, this the time to grow. This is the time to build to last.

What type of companies are we looking for?
We specialize in MSPs, but with a clear profile
The companies and owners we invest in need to share our values to ensure a successful future. They need to be and want to remain entrepreneurial, dedicated and innovative. In our key investments, we often want the company to remain as much as it is, only adding value where we can and cherish those things that make the company unique. We strongly and firmly believe in a decentralized model, where the entrepreneurs within the company can keep lots of autonomy and stay in control of the relation with their customer. Afterall, it is their knowledge of the market and their customers that has gotten them this far.
The companies we invest in are financially stable, have ambitious and promising teams and feel like they have yet to reach their full potential. We can help them break through that glass ceiling and reach new levels of growth. Not only for the company, but for the entrepreneur as well.
