Cal Net: Seeking A Buyer?
Rumors about Cal Net being up for sale had surfaced in recent weeks. Cal Net had been owned by Boathouse Capital and Olympic Valley Capital. Also, Cal Net leveraged a credit facility from Monroe Capital to acquired inhouse IT in 2016. We're checking to see if the investment firms retain stakes in Cal Net, or if they exited the MSP as part of the NexusTek deal.
This is NexusTek's sixth M&A deal in four years. The company earlier this month acquired the cloud hosting, infrastructure, and managed service business units of Orange County’s Zumasys.
And in May of this year, the company merged with Breakthrough Technology Group (BTG). The merger was facilitated by Abry Partners, which has backed NexusTek since it made a sizable investment in December 2017. The firm bought BTG just prior to the merger.
