The sports data firm, which is looking to go public, is speaking with multiple SPACs about deals in the $10-12 billion range, according to the people, who were granted anonymity because the talks are private. The company is simultaneously pursuing a traditional public offering and hasn’t made a decision on which path to pursue, the people said.

Sportradar’s valuation has grown significantly in just the last few months. Last year the company fielded a handful of SPAC offers with valuations around $8 billion, the people said. The company’s traditional IPO estimates were in the $6 billion to $8 billion range at the time.
