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.

We and the Selling Stockholders take no responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may give you. This prospectus is an offer to sell only the securities offered hereby and only under circumstances and in jurisdictions where it is lawful to do so. No dealer, salesperson or other person is authorized to give any information or to represent anything not contained in this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement or any related free writing prospectus. This prospectus is not an offer to sell securities, and it is not soliciting an offer to buy securities, in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement is accurate only as of the date on the front of those documents only, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus or any applicable prospectus supplement, or any sale of a security. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates.

This prospectus is a part of a registration statement on Form S-1 that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Selling Stockholders may, from time to time, sell the Class A common stock covered by this prospectus in the manner described in the section titled “Plan of Distribution.” Additionally, we may provide a prospectus supplement to add information to, or update or change information contained in, this prospectus, including the section titled “Plan of Distribution”.

All of the summaries are qualified in their entirety by the actual documents. Copies of some of the documents referred to herein have been filed or will be filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and you may obtain copies of those documents as described under “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”

Our board of directors and our stockholders each approved a 1-for-6 reverse stock split of all classes of our issued and outstanding capital stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”).

MARKET AND INDUSTRY DATA

This prospectus includes estimates regarding market and industry data. Unless otherwise indicated, information concerning our industry and the markets in which we operate, including our general expectations, market position, market opportunity, and market size, are based on our management’s knowledge and experience in the markets in which we operate, together with currently available information obtained from various sources, including publicly available information, industry reports and publications, surveys, our customers, trade and business organizations, and other contacts in the markets in which we operate. Certain information is based on management estimates, which have been derived from third-party sources, as well as data from our internal research.

In presenting this information, we have made certain assumptions that we believe to be reasonable based on such data and other similar sources and on our knowledge of, and our experience to date in, the markets in which we operate. While we believe the estimated market and industry data included in this prospectus is generally reliable, such information is inherently uncertain and imprecise. Market and industry data is subject to change and may be limited by the availability of raw data, the voluntary nature of the data gathering process, and other limitations inherent in any statistical survey of such data. In addition, projections, assumptions, and estimates of the future performance of the markets in which we operate are necessarily subject to uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described in “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates made by third parties and by us. Accordingly, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such market and industry data or any other such estimates.

Forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus include, but are not limited to, statements about:

	·	the implementation of our business model and our strategic plans for our business, product, services and technology;

	·	our commercialization and marketing capabilities and strategy;

These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this prospectus and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, but not limited to, those described in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus.
