Marlin portfolio company Didomi acquires Sourcepoint
LOS ANGELES, LONDON and PARIS, July 8, 2025 – Marlin Equity Partners (“Marlin”) is pleased to announce that it has acquired Sourcepoint, a data privacy technology company with strong publisher market share and over 200 global enterprise customers. Sourcepoint will be merged with Didomi, an existing Marlin portfolio company and a leading Global Data Privacy Solutions provider. Together, Didomi and Sourcepoint aim to become the authority on privacy-respecting data collection, data utilization, and attribution across all digital platforms and channels.
“Didomi and Sourcepoint are perfectly aligned around a mission to create the most advanced privacy infrastructure aimed at helping businesses confidently balance user trust, regulatory compliance, and performance outcomes. We want to redefine privacy as a strategic growth-lever, including deeply understanding the value exchange between businesses and their customers, while helping them seamlessly navigate this new landscape defined by AI and hyper-personalization,” explains Romain Gauthier, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Didomi.
“We are excited to be part of the Didomi team. We began our journey in 2015 with the goal to help the world’s most influential brands to turn privacy compliance into a catalyst for better business outcomes. Together, we can have an even bigger impact on how businesses collect, govern, and activate first-party data, while also staying ahead of the curve when it comes to AI or whatever comes next,” said Ben Barokas, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Sourcepoint. “As privacy regulations become increasingly complex worldwide, enterprise companies need more than just powerful technology,” explains Brian Kane, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of Sourcepoint. “They need a partner that combines enterprise-grade solutions with world-class service. That’s exactly what we’re building together with Didomi, with a focus on helping our customers not just adapt, but lead.”
“We are incredibly proud to support Didomi in executing such a bold and strategic acquisition just months after our initial investment. This acquisition represents a decisive move toward building a category-leading platform with global reach,” stated Jeremy Nakache, a managing director at Marlin.
