Jan-15Series DDN Capital; Goldman Sachs; Goldman Sachs Growth Equity; Scottish Equity Partners; XAnge$40M-Mister Spex is Europe's leading online optician, offering eyewear including designer glasses, sunglasses, and contact lenses through an e-commerce model that undercuts traditional brick-and-mortar stores via competitive pricing and economies of scale. Founded in 2007 and based in Berlin, the company operates in Germany, Austria, France, Spain, and the UK, with a presence in Sweden following the 2013 acquisition of Lensstore and Loveyewear. It employs over 300 people, including a team of opticians for customer advice by phone or email, and maintains a physical optician shop for final production and quality control. On January 8, 2015, Mister Spex raised its largest funding round to date: $40 million USD led by Goldman Sachs, with participation from existing investors Scottish Equity Partners, XAnge, and DN Capital. The funds are earmarked for domestic and international growth plans. David Reis from Goldman Sachs Merchant Banking Division joined the advisory board as part of the deal. In 2013, Mister Spex reported turnover of 47 million euros and served more than one million customers across Europe, establishing strong organic growth in a market ripe for online disruption due to high prices of designer frames. The company positions itself as a pioneer in online eyewear retail with high-quality management and an innovative business model.
May-13Series CDN Capital; Scottish Equity Partners; XAnge$21M-Mister Spex is Europe's largest independent online eyewear retailer, offering contact lenses, brand name glasses, and sunglasses through an omnichannel model that integrates digital platforms with physical stores and partnerships with over 500 local opticians across multiple European countries including Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Scandinavia, UK, and Western Europe. Founded in 2007, the company disrupted the eyewear market by providing competitive pricing on designer frames online, supported by a team of opticians for customer advice and in-house production facilities. By 2013, it had expanded via acquisitions like Lensstore and Loveyewear in Sweden and claimed over one million customers in Europe. In May 2013, Mister Spex raised funding from investors including lead Scottish Equity Partners, DN Capital, and XAnge; this preceded a larger $40 million round in January 2015 led by Goldman Sachs with participation from the same existing backers. The 2013 turnover, explicitly stated as 47 million euros, reflects strong growth in its early scaling phase. Scottish Equity Partners' investment supported European expansion, acquisitions, custom warehousing, and automated lens manufacturing, positioning Mister Spex as a growth-oriented player. Post-2013, Mister Spex continued scaling, opening its first physical store in Berlin in 2016 and reaching 40 stores by later years, while going public via IPO on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in July 2021. Ownership evolved with stakes held by EssilorLuxottica (11.8%), DN Capital (~8-9%), Scottish Equity Partners (~7%), and Goldman Sachs-related funds (3-5%), alongside founders and free float. The company faced market challenges, with market cap around €120 million in early 2025, prompting operational restructuring like the SpexFocus program for cost optimization and potential M&A interest due to depressed valuation relative to revenue.
