DDeporvillage
Deporvillage is a Spanish online retailer of sports equipment and apparel (cycling, running, triathlon, swimming, fitness, outdoor) founded in 2010 in Manresa, Barcelona. It grew into one of Europe's leading specialized sports e-commerce players (over 100,000 SKUs, 680+ brands, 2.5M+ customers) before being acquired by UK retail group JD Sports (via Iberian Sports Retail Group) in 2021 for roughly €140M; its co-founders exited day-to-day management in 2022, so it now operates as a subsidiary rather than an independent VC-backed startup.
