Bending Spoons files for a Nasdaq IPO
The Italian group behind Evernote, WeTransfer and Vimeo heads to the public markets after a strongly profitable quarter.
Bending Spoons has filed paperwork with the SEC to list on the Nasdaq. The Italian group, founded in 2013, grew by buying existing digital platforms — Evernote, Meetup, WeTransfer, Vimeo, Eventbrite, AOL — and reorganizing them to lift revenue and profitability.
In the first quarter of 2026 it posted $601 million in revenue and $27.5 million in net profit, against $259 million in revenue and a $112.2 million loss in the same period of 2025.
A significant share of revenue comes from recurring subscriptions, which makes future cash flows more predictable in investors' eyes.
