News Summary:
Italian tech firm Bending Spoons became a European giant by purchasing recognizable digital brands like WeTransfer, Evernote, Vimeo, and Eventbrite, rather than creating offerings from the ground up since its establishment in Milan in 2013, Euronews reported on September 23, 2026. Previously, on September 22, Prosus appointed WeTransfer co-founder Ronald Hans, also known as Nalden, as its Chief Product Officer, alongside naming Euro Beinat as Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer and promoting Paul van der Boor to Chief Technology Officer. This follows Bending Spoons' Nasdaq IPO on July 1, which targeted up to $1.62 billion in proceeds, seeking a valuation as high as $19 billion for its portfolio of internet brands including WeTransfer, AOL, Vimeo, Evernote, Brightcove, and Eventbrite. The Milan-based acquirer priced its Nasdaq IPO on June 30 above its marketed $26 to $28 range, targeting a roughly $19 billion valuation for its debut under the ticker BSP. Earlier, on June 23, Bending Spoons SpA, the Italian software acquisition firm owning WeTransfer, Vimeo, and Evernote, sought to raise as much as $1.62 billion through an initial public offering, with a potential valuation reaching $17.8 billion, according to a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing.
