Cloud Capital

Here's how it actually works.

Cloud savings vendors make a lot of promises. We think the mechanics should speak for themselves.

Most cloud savings vendors are resellers. Cloud Capital is an underwriter.

Typical Reseller

Buys commitments in a shared pool across unrelated customers

Savings depend on how other companies in the pool behave

Commitment risk stays on your financial statements

Savings rate varies month to month with no guarantee

You bear underutilization risk if you scale down

Cloud Capital

Commits its own capital, per customer, based on your individual forecast

Savings depend entirely on your usage — nobody else's

Zero commitments on your financial statements, ever

Savings rate guaranteed contractually — it doesn't change

We absorb all underutilization risk with our own money

Aligned incentives, built into the model.

Cloud Capital makes money two ways: a share of the AWS partner margin and a share of the savings generated through commitment optimization. In short, we make money when you save money.

“Cloud spend used to feel like a black box. With Cloud Capital, we now treat it the way we treat payroll: predictable, governed, and defensible.”

Wouter Hendricks

CFO @ Shiftmove

How your savings are protected

We maintain a dedicated cash reserve.

Cloud Capital maintains a dedicated cash reserve to back its commitment obligations. This reserve exists to protect customer savings continuity regardless of business conditions and to ensure that commitments made on your behalf are honored.

We see your billing data. Nothing else.

Every access decision is designed around the same principle: Cloud Capital sees your billing data, and only your billing data. Here is exactly what that means.

Forecasting

Forecasting and visibility

Cloud Capital reads your AWS Cost and Usage Report (CUR) data via a read-only IAM role your team creates. We use this data to build your cost structure, generate forecasts, and surface savings opportunities. We do not access infrastructure, application data, logs, or account configurations.

Commitment optimization

Cloud Capital purchases commitments through a dedicated AWS account your team creates within your Organization. You review and approve the setup, and commitments distribute across your accounts automatically per AWS's standard sharing behavior.

Every integration is created by your team, scoped to minimum access, and fully reversible.

“Cloud Capital gives us a clear, reliable view of how our workloads translate into financial impact. It keeps our technical roadmap intact while giving finance the data it needs to plan with confidence.”

Your savings rate is guaranteed. Contractually.

Cloud Capital analyzes your historical AWS spend, identifies committable spend across compute and database workloads, and builds a structured savings proposal tailored to your environment. Coverage builds incrementally, and nothing is purchased without your sign-off. Usage fluctuates — your rate doesn't.

Every dollar is transparent on every invoice.

Cloud Capital uses AWS Billing Transfer — a native AWS feature — to manage your consolidated bill. Only the billing relationship moves. Your AWS Organizations structure, accounts, IAM policies, and infrastructure remain under your control. Discounts and Cloud Capital’s margin are shown transparently on every invoice.

“For the first time, I have a clear and predictable view of cloud costs. It’s the kind of visibility every CFO wishes they had.”

Now you know how it works. Here's how to get started.

We make money when you save money.
Every part of the model, the forecasting, the commitments, the billing, is built around that single rule.
