A consortium led by Deutsche Private Equity has sold Webtrekk to Mapp, a portfolio company of Marlin Equity Partners
Lincoln International acted as the exclusive financial advisor to DPE and the other shareholders working closely with the DPE deal team throughout the sale process. Lincoln International was instrumental in identifying Marlin and their portfolio company Mapp as the ideal buyer with a strong strategic rationale and immediate synergies. This insight was based on intimate knowledge of the marketing technology and services space and an ongoing dialogue with key market participants. Lincoln International’s services included providing advisory expertise and managing the preparatory, marketing, negotiation and due diligence phases of the transaction as well as the day-to-day execution.
