Bending Spoons, the Milan-based company best known for buying up struggling tech brands and squeezing profit out of them, has filed for an initial public offering in the United States. The company submitted a Form F-1 registration statement with the SEC on June 8, 2026, planning to list on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker “BSP.”
The financial backdrop makes the timing look deliberate. Bending Spoons reported Q1 2026 revenue of $601 million, more than doubling the $259 million it posted during the same quarter last year. Even more striking: the company swung from a net loss of $112.2 million to a net profit of $27.5 million over that same period.
The digital brand collector
If you haven’t heard of Bending Spoons by name, you’ve almost certainly used one of its products. The company has quietly assembled a portfolio of iconic internet-era brands that includes Evernote, Vimeo, WeTransfer, and AOL. Collectively, these properties serve over 1 billion registered users.
Founded in 2013, the company has turned this serial acquisition strategy into something resembling a machine. Each new purchase gets folded into the broader Bending Spoons ecosystem, where shared infrastructure and centralized management strip away redundancies.
