  @dakroot I started...1994? Intro to computer science I was sold & never looked back. ICQ (messenger) predated aol msgr, it was pretty cool, & i did like chatrooms. I worked nights & usually stayed up all night doing homework, so they were good ways to "socialize" around my crazy hours.

  This Week in Startups: August 3rd It's a wild one 👇 Airtable gets acquired by Bending Spoons for $1.28B. Once valued at $11B, now picked up at a fraction, the third brand-at-a-discount play this year after AOL and Eventbrite. Google’s AI leadership reshuffle. Demis Hassabis moves from CEO of DeepMind to Alphabet Chief Scientist. Nikita Bier steps down from X as Chief Product Officer. Revolut founder in line for a mega payout. Nik Storonsky’s incentive package could push his fortune to £57B if Revolut hits $200B valuation, not far-fetched after its latest secondary at $115B! SpaceX posted its first quarterly earnings. Revenue reached $7.8B (nearly 2x YoY, beating estimates).

  @Starlink has got to be the absolute worst internet service it has ever been my misfortune to have to use. Maintains its connection for 20 seconds at a time, slower than aol on dial up

  Bending Spoons is the most interesting acquisition machine in tech right now, and the more you dig into it... The weirder it becomes. They buy aging digital brands that still have users and brand recognition but have lost their edge, think Evernote, WeTransfer, Vimeo, Meetup, AOL, Eventbrite, and a pile of others. Then they do the thing almost nobody else has the stomach for: they gut the headcount hard, move operations onto their own centralized platform, raise prices, tighten free tiers, and run the products with a much smaller team of their own people (“Spooners”). The original staff is mostly gone. In some cases the entire original team was shown the door. Imagine... Entire staff gone! Mosaic: 330 people out because only the assets were bought. WeTransfer: 75%. Evernote: from hundreds down to a fraction. Vimeo: most of the workforce, including the video team. The list goes on. They are transparent about it in filings as they call the workforce reductions part of the “transformation.” Does it work financially? At the operating level, yes. Revenue went from $387M in 2023 to $1.31B in 2025, with Q1 2026 already at $601M. Operating income is healthy (around 20-21% margins recently) and adjusted operating margins are even better, climbing toward 50%. GAAP net income is messier because of debt interest and acquisition-related costs, but the core engine is printing cash once the cuts land. They target aggressive IRRs on deals and hold everything forever with no exit plan. Compare that to the usual suspects. Constellation Software is the cleanest public parallel. Same “buy and never sell” philosophy, same focus on capital allocation. But Constellation is decentralized: hundreds of small vertical B2B software companies that mostly run themselves. Sticky, mission-critical products, low churn, funded largely from internal cash flow, modest leverage. Steady compounding over two decades. Bending Spoons is the opposite operating model: hyper-centralized platform, consumer and legacy digital brands (higher churn risk), heavy debt, and much more aggressive restructuring. Higher targeted returns, higher variance. Private equity shops like Thoma Bravo or Vista do the cost-cutting and leverage part. The difference is they buy to sell in a few years. Bending Spoons has no intention of flipping anything. They want the portfolio to compound indefinitely. That permanent-capital mindset is closer to Berkshire than classic PE, even if the day-to-day execution looks more like a ruthless turnaround team with a shared AI-heavy tech stack. The model has clear strengths: speed of integration, willingness to make hard decisions, ability to extract margin from businesses that previous owners treated as lifestyle companies or growth stories. It also has obvious risks; consumer products are less sticky than vertical software, debt service is real, and the long-term durability of heavily optimized legacy brands under continuous price pressure is still being tested. Newer big acquisitions (Vimeo, Eventbrite, AOL) are still in the middle of the transformation. Whether you like the approach or find it cold is secondary. The numbers and the consistency of the playbook are hard to ignore. Bending Spoons is running a specialized version of the software roll-up with more aggression on costs and more centralization than the classic players. It is working so far. The interesting question is how far the model scales before the easy targets dry up or the leverage becomes a problem.
