The sale was led by existing investor EQT, which thereby increases its stake in the company. New investors include Teachers’ Venture Growth (TVG) and Schroders Capital, as well as funds managed by BlackRock, Lombard Odier and Pinegrove Opportunity Partners. Existing shareholders, including Baillie Gifford, also chose to expand their positions.
The company is not taking in any new capital in connection with the transaction. The stated purpose is instead to broaden the ownership base with long-term institutional investors, and to offer liquidity to existing shareholders and employees. According to Vinted, interest in the transaction exceeded the availability of shares and was therefore oversubscribed.
Vinted CEO, Thomas Plantenga, comments on the deal:
This transaction and valuation reflect the progress we have made in building Vinted into what it is today – a proven marketplace embedded in an ecosystem of vertically integrated infrastructure for shipping and payments, designed to make secondhand reliable, easy and affordable at scale. The transaction recognizes the value we have created and gives employees the opportunity to participate in it. It also provides liquidity to long-term investors, continuing an approach we have taken in every funding round since 2015.
Carolina Brochado, partner at EQT, states that they see positively on the company's continued development:
Vinted has built a leading technology company in its category in Europe, combining strong growth with disciplined execution. We continue to be impressed by the team and reinforce our strong conviction in their strategy and long-term potential.
The share transfer follows the company's financial results for 2025, which were published earlier in April. During the past year, Vinted increased its sales volume (GMV) by 47 percent to 10.8 billion euros. The company thus had a turnover of 1.1 billion euros in 2025, with a net profit of 62 million euros. Vinted states that they have a positive cash flow and therefore the capacity to finance future growth with their own funds.
