Owners and controllers
Place an asset quietly
Your asset is never marketed. Buyers see a summary first, and nothing more until you approve them by name.
Read the owner brief →Verified assets. Qualified buyers. Direct access
The best deals never reach the market.
BlackCloud is an invite-only platform that connects owners and controllers of private assets with qualified capital, through introductions the owner approves at every stage.
Who it is for
Three ways in. One standard of verification.
Family offices and principals
Source off-market
Submit your mandate once. See only opportunities that match your asset class, geography and ticket size.
Request an invitation →Wealth managers and advisers
Bring a client's mandate
Source for clients or place an asset you control. Terms are agreed in writing first, and the client relationship stays yours.
