PLG acquires Romanian ticketing platform iaBilet from Resource Partners
PLG — a ticketing group headquartered in the Baltics and Central Europe, backed by founder Sven Nuutmann's Angel Rose Capital, Baltic private-equity firm BaltCap and Estonia's Tristafan — has agreed to acquire Romanian ticketing platform iaBilet from private-equity firm Resource Partners and the company's founders. The deal is subject to regulatory approval; iaBilet's founders and management remain with the business. Resource Partners had taken majority control only in October 2025.
Our take
Two signals worth noting. First, the direction: a Baltic-headquartered group is the acquirer of a CEE asset — the reverse of the usual "Western buyer, Eastern target" story, and a sign that regional champions are now consolidating across borders themselves. Second, the speed: Resource Partners held iaBilet for less than a year before this exit, which shows how competitive well-run, tech-enabled "platform" businesses have become. Buyer appetite for scalable companies in this category is real — and moving fast.
