Bending Spoons has acquired more than 50 businesses since 2013.
Bending Spoons, the Italian parent company behind the likes of Vimeo and Eventbrite, is seeking to raise as much as $1.62bn in an initial public offering.
According to a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on 22 June, Bending Spoons US is issuing more than 34.3m ordinary shares, at between $26 to $28 a share. While, a number of its existing shareholders are issuing some 23.5m shares.
