  I mean, the mismanagement didn't help. Plenty of customers stayed with AOL for ages because it was easier than switching to a better, faster, cheaper internet experience. HughesNet took their customers for granted and the satisfaction scores reflected it.

  A programmer built a database because software on a US Navy destroyer could not afford to lose its connection. Today that tiny database sits inside every iPhone, Android phone, Chrome, Safari, and Firefox, and most people have never heard his name. His name is D. Richard Hipp. The database is SQLite. In 2000, Hipp was helping build software for the USS Oscar Austin, a guided-missile destroyer. The program helped sailors respond when the ship was damaged. If a pipe burst, it could find the valves sailors needed to close, the other valves they needed to open, and exactly where each one was located. During a real attack, this could mean smoke, flooding, broken pipes, and people trying to keep the ship alive. All that information was stored inside an Informix database. When the database server worked, everything was fine. But sometimes the server went down. Sailors would open the damage-control program and get a message saying it could not connect to the database. Hipp’s team did not control the server. They still got blamed because their software showed the error. Hipp started asking a simple question: Why did the program need a database server at all? It only needed to read information from the ship’s computer. Why could it not pull that data directly from the disk? Then government funding paused, leaving Hipp without contract work for a few months. So he built the database himself. SQLite had no separate server to connect to. No administrator had to keep it running. The entire database could live inside one file, and the application could read that file directly. If the computer was working, the database was working. The Navy kept Informix as its official system, but Hipp’s team began using SQLite for development and testing. Then Hipp released it on the internet. Someone managed to run a full SQL database on a Palm Pilot. Motorola called and paid him to improve it for a new phone operating system. AOL wanted it because it needed a database small enough to fit on its installation CDs. Then Mozilla, Symbian, Adobe, Google, and countless other companies followed. When Android began shipping SQLite on millions of phones, users found bugs Hipp had never seen before. So he spent about a year working 60-hour weeks to bring it up to aviation-style testing standards. Today SQLite estimates that more than one trillion active databases may exist across the world. They store browser history, messages, settings, contacts, app data, and countless other pieces of our digital lives. The database created because a warship could not trust a server became the database billions of devices trust when no server exists.

  Airtable sold for a tenth of its peak. The founders kept the AI business. Bending Spoons announced today it's buying Airtable, all cash. The headline number hides three better stories. The deal: - Enterprise value: $1.285 billion - Equity value: ~$2.25 billion, but only because Airtable is sitting on ~$965M of net cash - Read that again: nearly half the purchase price is Airtable's own unspent money being handed back to shareholders - Peak valuation: $11.7B, December 2021 Series F. The business just cleared at roughly 89% below that - ARR: ~$480M, growing 20%. That's ~2.7x revenue. SpaceX paid 15x for Cursor six weeks ago The waterfall, per a widely shared model built on public terms (directional, assumes vanilla 1x prefs): - Everyone from Series C onward took par. Coatue, Thrive, Greenoaks, XN wrote checks at $1.1B, $2.6B, $5.8B, and $11.7B posts and got 1.0x of money back - CRV: ~21x on the 2015 Series A, ~6x on the B - Caffeinated Capital: ~37x on the A1 - Freestyle and Felix Shpilman at the 2013 seed: ~55x - ~$960M left for converting holders. The three founders, assuming ~15% held, split about $144M. Call it $50M each after 13 years - Same lesson as always: the last four rounds funded the exit for the first three Now the buried lede, from the SEC filing: - Before signing, Airtable ran a reorganization that transferred the entire "Hyperagent" business line out of the company into a separate entity, Hyperagent Inc - Hyperagent is the AI agent orchestration platform Airtable unveiled in early 2026, spin up teams of autonomous agents across your business tools - Bending Spoons is buying the database, the workflows, the 500K orgs, the 80% of the Fortune 100, and the $480M of recurring revenue - The seller is keeping the agents On Hyperagent's performance: there are no disclosed numbers. It launched roughly six months ago. No ARR, no customer counts, nothing public. What we know is that it was worth carving out of a billion-dollar deal, which is its own kind of disclosure. On whether the founders stay: nobody has said explicitly. Howie Liu's statement talks about "building the AI-native platform of the future," which reads either way on purpose. But follow the structure, not the quotes. The founders' holding company now owns Hyperagent outright, free of the legacy business. One newsletter's blunt read: Liu keeps the AI project without having to be the one who does the layoffs. The Italians do that part. And they will. Bending Spoons' playbook is public record: buy at a discount, cut deep, raise prices on customers too embedded to leave, run it for cash. Evernote, WeTransfer, Vimeo, AOL in January, Eventbrite in March. Airtable is the first deal since its July Nasdaq listing at $18.4B, and the first paid for with public-market currency. The frame: a decacorn built over 13 years just sold its core for less than the cash on its own balance sheet plus a modest premium, while the founders walked out the back door with the AI upside in a clean-room entity. The 2021 vintage investors got their money back and nothing else. The seed got 55x. And the most honest sentence in the whole transaction is a highlighted paragraph in a 6-K that nobody reads. Every exit this cycle tells you where the value is. This one says: the workflows are worth 2.7x revenue. The agents are worth keeping.

  Look at who bought it. Bending Spoons has acquired Evernote, WeTransfer, Meetup, Brightcove, Vimeo and AOL. The pattern never changes: buy a beloved product at a discount, cut costs hard, raise prices, and run it for profit instead of growth.

  Plausible paths for Google: 1. They will also start falling behind in TPU design. TPUs will cease to even notionally be a realistic competitor to big players. Maybe they'll sell the IP and TSMC allocation to OpenAI or Anthropic or AMD, or spin it out into an underresourced separate entity. 2. GCP will do very well for a time. Existing LLM inference capacity is going to get more valuable over time, commanding higher prices. At some point, they'll be left with second-rate hardware that's been dramatically outcompeted by ultra-efficient RSI hardware and data centers. It's not inconceivable that their TPUs will literally have the HBM chips pried off of them to put into better hardware by a competitor. 3. Search will have gone from merely declining in usage to declining rapidly in revenue. This will continue for some time as a viable business, like AOL, Juno and yahoo, but with a shrinking user base of aging retirees or barely-online people. They will embrace every dark pattern in the book to adsmaxx, but their core "indexing and understanding all the world's information" will have long since been done much better by model companies. 4. They'll probably release a quite good Gemini or two from inertia this year. Not necessarily SOTA, but good enough to cause a stock rally. This is probably the last place for someone like Sergei Brin to assert control and save the company. 5. Eventually the massive amount of debt taken on building GCP and getting returned as buybacks will catch up with them after a credit downgrade. They'll get ripped apart for scraps at the org level, with stakes in various AI companies constituting most of their value, like yahoo! did with alibaba. Sundar Pichai will walk away enormously wealthy having maximized ******** out of some shareholder value.

  @airtable raised at $11.7B in December 2021. This morning it agreed to be acquired by Bending Spoons at roughly $2.25B equity value, about 80% off the peak. Everyone's reading that as a collapse. It isn't. Airtable does ~$480M in ARR, growing 20%+ a year, across 500,000 organizations including 80% of the Fortune 100. If you described that business to someone without telling them the funding history, they'd call it excellent. So the company didn't fail. The 2021 price failed. And I think there's something worth taking from that if you're building right now. For about a decade, the scoreboard was the valuation. It was the thing that got tweeted, the thing that got you on the podcast, the thing that made you feel like you were winning. And it turned out to be the single most reversible number in the whole business. Revenue doesn't get revised down 80% by a change in interest rates. Paper does. Nobody is handing out 2021 valuations in 2026. That's not the loss it sounds like. It just means the only number left worth chasing is the one that was always real. Also worth watching: Bending Spoons has now bought AOL, Eventbrite and Airtable inside seven months. Somebody has noticed there's a whole generation of good software companies stranded above their last round, and has built an acquisition machine pointed directly at them.
