Russmedia Equity Partners (RMEP), a leading European investor in online marketplaces and digital platforms, announces the successful sale of one of its most significant investments: In 2018, RMEP had invested in the Viennese start-up Eversports. The popular online booking platform has now been sold at a profit. Founded in 2013 and specializing in the booking and marketing of boutique fitness studios, Eversports has established itself excellently on the market: Over its eleven years, it has grown to serve more than four million users, partnering with gyms, venues, and companies across Europe.
Under the motto “Make Sport Happen” the platform has redefined the way sports activities are booked. Users can effortlessly bundle and book yoga, martial arts, fitness classes and more through Eversports’ user-friendly interface, saving time compared to traditional methods of contacting individual providers. While it began in Austria, Eversports is now active in over ten European countries. The platform also allows for group bookings, making it easy for colleagues or friends to participate in activities together. Additionally, through its Eversports Manager tool, the platform supports corporate clients by offering a broad portfolio of sports programs, administrative assistance, and customer loyalty solutions.
This sale of Eversports highlights RMEP’s continued success as a developer and partner in the digital marketplace sector. RMEP is the investment arm of the Austrian-based Russmedia Group, with a focus on fostering digital growth. RMEP has a presence in key European hubs such as Vienna and Berlin. Its portfolio companies employ more then 600 people across Europe, and RMEP manages more than 50 successful brand names, primarily in the software and online marketplace sectors.
