Acquisition

Bending Spoons buys Airtable in $2.25B deal, first since Nasdaq IPO

August 4, 2026

Deal Value

$2.3B

The move extends its buy-and-rebuild playbook from consumer apps into enterprise workflow software just a month after going public.

  • Bending Spoons agreed to acquire Airtable in an all-cash deal valuing it at a $1.285B enterprise value, implying roughly $2.25B in equity value once Airtable's net cash is included.
  • Founded in 2013, Airtable's platform blends spreadsheet and database functionality so non-coders can build internal apps and manage workflows; it now serves over 500,000 organizations, including 80% of the Fortune 100.
  • Airtable's annual recurring revenue grew over 20% year-over-year to about $480M as of June 2026, according to Bending Spoons CEO Luca Ferrari.
  • Goldman Sachs Bank Europe and J.P. Morgan advised Bending Spoons and Willkie Farr & Gallagher provided legal counsel, while Latham & Watkins and AXOM Partners advised Airtable; the deal is expected to close by year-end pending regulatory approval.
  • The deal follows Bending Spoons' acquisitions of AOL in January 2026 and Eventbrite in March 2026, and comes just weeks after the Italian company's July 1 Nasdaq debut at an $18B valuation.
  • The purchase shows Bending Spoons channeling fresh public-market capital into a private-equity-style rollup of enterprise software, expanding beyond the consumer apps that built its reputation.
