Profile

Bending Spoons S.p.A.BSPInformation Technology

Acquires and operates a portfolio of digital businesses, earning mainly recurring subscription revenue alongside advertising and transaction-related income. A centralized platform supplies the teams, technology, data, and playbook used to integrate and optimize acquisitions.

Acquires and operates digital businesses across communications, media, video, productivity, events, and consumer utilities. AOL provides email, news, and search; Brightcove, Vimeo, and StreamYard support video; Evernote, Harvest, Loomly, and Issuu serve workflow; Eventbrite and Meetup support events and communities; Remini, komoot, WeTransfer, and Tractive extend the consumer portfolio. Customers span global markets, with North America its largest region.

Integrates acquisitions through a centralized platform of selectively recruited staff, proprietary technologies, and operating data. Its playbook reshapes teams, technology, interfaces, marketing, and monetization, then reinvests earnings and financing into further acquisitions.

Depends on acquisition sourcing, valuation, financing, and integration capacity, as well as subscription performance and external app-store, cloud, payment, advertising, data, and content-regulation infrastructure.
