OC&C advise Sprints on their investment into willhaben

We are pleased to congratulate Sprints on its planned strategic partnership with Styria to acquire Adevinta’s stake in willhaben, sold as part of Adevinta’s ongoing value realisation plan. OC&C provided buy-side commercial due diligence to Sprints in support of this transaction.

willhaben is one of Austria’s most recognised digital platforms, connecting buyers and sellers across real estate, jobs, cars, and general classifieds. With over 3.8 million users per month and more than 13 million active listings, it plays a key role in Austria’s digital economy. This investment marks the formation of a strategic partnership between Sprints and Styria Media Group, combining Sprints’ deep expertise in scaling technology-driven businesses with Styria’s established media and marketplace presence in Austria.

This transaction reinforces OC&C’s global reputation advising investors into, and management teams of, high-growth digital marketplaces.
