The company was met with significant market interest, with its valuation exceeding $25 billion shortly after launch. This figure is more than double the $11 billion valuation the company held while in the private sector. This is reported by Techcrunch.com reports . Founded in Milan, the company has gained attention in recent years for acquiring world-famous digital brands such as AOL, Vimeo, Meetup, Eventbrite, and WeTransfer.

According to the company’s filing for its public offering, as of March 2026, its products had over 500 million monthly active users and more than 9 million monthly paying users. Expand scale through acquisitions Bending Spoons began unassumingly. The company evolved from a team that continued working together after a failed startup, initially developing their own apps before shifting to acquiring established digital products and gradually creating a standardized integration process.
