About Bending Spoons
At Bending Spoons, we’re striving to build one of the all-time great companies. A company that serves a huge number of customers, where team members grow to their full potential, functions at unparalleled levels of effectiveness and efficiency, creates value for shareholders at an extraordinary rate, all while adhering to high ethical standards.
To achieve this objective, we execute the following strategy: we acquire a digital business with untapped potential and make it as successful as we can by leveraging our platform — comprises our expertise, technologies, data, brand, talents, and company culture. Then, we invest the proceeds into making our platform more powerful, and into acquiring new businesses. This strategy combines an investor’s attention to capital allocation with the hands‑on approach of an operator.
