Bending Spoons corporate expansion and restructuring

Overview

Bending Spoons has undergone a period of rapid international expansion and significant corporate restructuring. The company initially expanded its global footprint by opening a new office in Warsaw, Poland, to recruit local talent, while simultaneously pursuing major software acquisitions. This included the purchase of Airtable and a definitive agreement to acquire Miro, following a Nasdaq debut that saw its market capitalization reach approximately $28 billion.

Following the acquisition of Airtable, Bending Spoons announced plans to lay off a ‘large part’ of the Airtable workforce. Product leader Federico Simionato stated the decision was based on the belief that ‘small teams ship more and better.’ While the company noted the layoffs were not a reflection of employee quality, the announcement drew criticism for its delivery. This restructuring follows broader trends of workforce reductions within the technology sector.
