Skyone acquires ADD IT and accelerates consolidation after Advent investment

The company is betting on infrastructure, data, and AI to expand its M&A strategy and consolidate its cloud market for SMEs

Skyone, a technology company specializing in cloud, data, AI, and cybersecurity, has taken its first major step since raising its Series C funding round. The company announced the acquisition of ADD IT, a private cloud company based in São Paulo, in a transaction described as the largest acquisition in its history. The value of the transaction was not disclosed.

Founded in 2001, ADD IT operates in private cloud infrastructure and critical environments, such as ERPs and databases, serving small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The company operates in Tier III data centers in Brazil and is now integrated into Skyone to consolidate the cloud and digital modernization market for SMEs.

The acquisition reinforces the company's argument that the adoption of artificial intelligence in companies requires, first and foremost, the modernization of infrastructure, the integration of systems, and the organization of data. "We work throughout the entire digital modernization process for SMEs, from migration to the cloud to data integration and orchestration," says Bruno Salari, Director of M&A and Investor Relations at Skyone, in an interview with Startups.

With over 25,000 clients, Skyone closed 2025 with revenue of R$400 million. The expectation is for 50% growth in 2026, driven by the recent investment, organic expansion, and the incorporation of ADD IT.

Life after Serie C

According to Bruno, Skyone had already been structuring an area dedicated to mergers and acquisitions since 2023. However, the investment from Adventat the end of 2025 accelerated the plans. "The strategy remains the same, but with considerably more fuel here for us to accelerate," says the executive.

The company claims to have a pipeline of over 400 companies mapped for potential acquisitions and intends to intensify its moves in the next 12 to 24 months. The main focus is on public and private cloud businesses with recurring revenue, low churn, and strong customer relationships.

“We are looking for strong cross-selling opportunities within the platform,” Bruno points out. In addition to cloud computing, the company is also evaluating opportunities in adjacent areas such as cybersecurity, data, and AI.
