Capstreet’s Acquisition of PlanetBids Wins Houston-Based Private Equity Deal of the Year from ACG Houston

HOUSTON, May 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Capstreet, a Houston-based lower middle market private equity firm, announced today that it was awarded Houston-Based Private Equity Deal of the Year by The Association for Corporate Growth (ACG) Houston. The award recognized Capstreet for its acquisition of PlanetBids, a provider of eProcurement software as a service (SaaS) solutions.

Capstreet acquired PlanetBids in June 2023 from founders Arpie and Alan Zavian. PlanetBids enables public and private organizations to improve visibility, save time, and reduce costs by electronically managing their procurement processes through a fast and frictionless modern interface.

“It is an honor to be recognized once again by the ACG, which has its pulse on Houston’s middle market deal community,” said Adrian Guerra, Partner at Capstreet. “Arpie and Alan played an essential role in making this a noteworthy deal. They were great partners, collaborative in getting it closed, and were in alignment with us on our vision for the company. We are optimistic that we can help PlanetBids take advantage of the increased demand for eProcurement, particularly as more government agencies look to invest in software platforms to improve efficiency.”
