Quite the Journey
Sportradar went public in September 2021 after raising $513 million through an IPO, giving the company a valuation of just under $8 billion. The company originally planned to go public last March via a merger with Horizon Acquisition Corp., a SPAC backed by Los Angeles Dodgers co-owner Todd Boehly.
