    (acquired by ISRG, owned by JD Sports, $3b Market cap) It was an honor to serve as board member and lead investor of Deporvillage from our first investment until it was sold to ISRG, owned by Jd Sports (€3b market cap). Deporvillage is a high-growth e-commerce company in the sports and wellness space. We saw the business grow from €5m to ~€200m in revenue in just six years. As lead investors, we were proud to support the founders along the journey, finding the right buyer for the company as well as negotiating the successful exit. Deporvillage was the first "home run" for Samaipata.
