Founded in 2013, Co-founder and CEO Luca Ferrari has built the company as a long-term operator, acquiring products with strong market fit and driving sustainable growth through strategic integration.

Over the past year, Bending Spoons has made major acquisitions, including San Francisco-based MileIQ and the all-cash €199 million purchase of U.S. video streaming tech company Brightcove.

These deals add to a portfolio featuring Evernote, WeTransfer, Remini, Meetup, komoot, Issuu, StreamYard, and Splice—brands widely used in productivity, content creation, and digital communication.

To date, the company has raised €1 billion. The latest €500 million is complemented by an additional €100 million facility for further investments and scaling. In July, it also secured a €350 million leveraged loan with J.P. Morgan, BNP Paribas, and Crédit Agricole as key arrangers.

With its expansion gaining pace across Europe and the United States, Bending Spoons is reportedly exploring the possibility of a public listing as part of its broader growth strategy, though no timeline has been set.

Valued at around €2.2 billion in 2024, the company operates in a market where tech sector acquisitions have surged 74% year-on-year to €325 billion (Bloomberg).

This substantial funding and steady investor support position Bending Spoons to keep acquiring digital businesses aligned with its strategic vision.
