In 2006 Samwer brothers with European Founders Fund and beginning of 2007 United Internet invested in the company.

In June 2008, General Electric and NBC Universal, along with European private-equity group GMT Communications Partners, bought out a 70 percent share of Bigpoint,[7] leaving the remaining 30 percent share under Heiko Hubertz's control.

On April 26, 2011, TA Associates and Summit Partners invested $350 million into Bigpoint to become the majority shareholders.

Previous shareholders Comcast Interactive Capital's Peacock Equity Fund sold their holdings in this transaction.
