FreeWheel, owned by the US group Comcast, acquires StickyADS.tv

Paris, May 9 2016 - Ventech Capital F, investor in Stickyads since 2013 and board member, has actively supported the management in its international development.

Founded in 2009, StickyADS.tv is a multiscreen video adtech company. The company has developed a unique and proprietary programmatic solution dedicated to premium publishers to help them monetize their video inventory. StikcyADS.tv operates in France, Germany, Italy, UK, Spain and in the US.

The transaction generates a generous multiple for Ventech Capital F. This exit follows the recent acquisition of another Ventech portfolio company, Withings (leading company in Connected Health) by Nokia.
