7,865,915 Shares of Class A Common Stock

This prospectus relates to the offer and sale from time to time by the Selling Stockholders (as hereinafter defined), of up to an aggregate of 7,865,915 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A common stock”), of Cloudastructure, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us,” or other similar pronouns), consisting of: (i) up to 7,000,000 shares of Class A common stock issuable to Streeterville Capital, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“Streeterville”) upon the conversion of the Company’s Series 1 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series 1 Preferred”), (ii) 720,000 shares of Class A common stock that constitute pre-delivery shares (the “Pre-Delivery Shares”) issued to Streeterville, and (iii) 145,915 shares of Class A common stock issued to Maxim Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Maxim Partners,” and together with Streeterville, the “Selling Stockholders”). The Series 1 Preferred and the Pre-Delivery Shares were issued to Streeterville pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, entered into on November 25, 2024, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Securities Purchase Agreement, dated January 16, 2025, and Amendment No. 2 to Securities Purchase Agreement, dated January 29, 2025 (as so amended, the “Securities Purchase Agreement” or “Equity Financing”). Upon closing of the Equity Financing, on January 29, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), Streeterville acquired the Series 1 Preferred for a purchase price of $6,300,000 and the Pre-Delivery Shares for a purchase price of $72.00. Each share of Series 1 Preferred has a stated value of $1,111 (the “Stated Value”), accrues a rate of return on the Stated Value of 10% per annum, and may be converted into Class A common stock at an initial conversion price of $9.00 per share. In addition, Streeterville, for a period ending on the later of (i) two years from the Closing Date, and (ii) the date on which it no longer holds any Series 1 Preferred, will have the right, but not the obligation, to reinvest up to an additional $3,150,000 into the Company in one or more tranches (of at least $100,000) on substantially similar terms as to the Equity Financing. Streeterville will also have the right, for a period ending six months after it no longer holds any Series 1 Preferred or is not otherwise owed any obligations from the Company, to participate in up to 30% of the amount any debt or equity financing that we consummate. The Class A common stock were issued to Maxim Partners pursuant to a letter agreement, entered into on April 25, 2024 (the “Engagement Letter”), with Maxim Group LLC, a New York limited liability company (“Maxim Group” and together with Maxim Partners, and their respective affiliates and subsidiaries, “Maxim”), under the terms of which Maxim provided us with financial advisory and investment banking services in connection with our direct listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”).

We are not offering any shares of Class A common stock for sale under this prospectus and will not receive proceeds from the resale of shares by the Selling Stockholders. The Selling Stockholders or its pledgees, assignees or successors in interest may sell or otherwise dispose of the Class A common stock covered by this prospectus in a number of different ways and at varying prices. We provide more information about how the Selling Stockholders may sell or otherwise dispose of the Class A common stock covered by this prospectus in the section titled “Plan of Distribution” on page 78. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses attributable to the sale of the Class A common stock covered by this prospectus will be borne by the Selling Stockholders. We will pay all expenses (other than discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses) relating to the registration of the Class A common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Selling Stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of our Class A common stock may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

Our Class A common stock is listed on the Nasdaq, under the symbol “CSAI.” On February 4, 2025, the last reported sale price of our Class A common stock on Nasdaq was $13.03 per share.

We are an “emerging growth company” and a “smaller reporting company” as defined under the federal securities laws and, as such, have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for this prospectus and may elect to do so in future filings. See “Prospectus Summary—Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Smaller Reporting Company.”

Investing in our Class A common stock involves a high degree of risk. See the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 10 of this prospectus for the risks and uncertainties you should consider before investing in our Class A common stock.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
