  WSJ profiled Bending Spoons this week — the Milan company that owns AOL, Evernote, and Vimeo, run by executives in their 30s and staffed by people who are sometimes younger than the software they've been hired to fix. It's actually a story about why so many applicants never make it through the door. Hundreds of thousands apply every year — enough that the rejection rate makes Harvard look like an easy yes — and most of them are optimizing for the wrong thing: credentials, polish, a great answer to "tell me about yourself." Almost anyone can be gracious to the person deciding their future. It's how they treat someone who can't do anything for them that's hard to fake. Last year: roughly 800,000 applications, 286 hires, an acceptance rate near 0.04% — tighter than Citadel's famously selective quant recruiting (0.36%), something like a hundred times harder than Harvard. That selectivity isn't a gut call. A dedicated team inside the company grades every interview against fixed criteria, then tracks how each hire performs months and years later, feeding the results back into the model. CEO Luca Ferrari has said the signal his team weights hardest is exactly this — how a candidate treats the people who have zero power over the outcome: the assistant, the receptionist. Not decency theater. Data: how you act in front of power is a performance; how you act in front of none is closer to the truth. That gap gets coded straight into the model, right alongside the interview scores. I'd bet you've done the reverse of this in the last week without noticing — warm with your boss, a little short with someone who couldn't do anything for you either way. Most companies say they hire for character. Very few test it anywhere the candidate isn't being watched by someone who can help them. Worth trying on your own team — just notice who's kind to the person who can't do anything for them.

  2000–2002: Bubble, Terror & Scandal 2000: NASDAQ peaks at 5,048 (March 10) and begins a 78% collapse. AOL announces the $165B Time Warner merger — the worst deal ever 2001: 9/11 closes markets until Sept 17 — the longest shutdown since 1914. Enron collapses in December 2002: WorldCom's $11B fraud → Sarbanes-Oxley. The bear bottoms in October, down 49%

  @JebraFaushay Mergers have a nasty habit of not working out. I am thinking of Time Warner's disastrous marriage to AOL, but there are a myriad of examples.

  A company built on software the internet left for dead just IPO'd on the Nasdaq at roughly $25B. Bending Spoons $BSP buys tired brands, AOL, WeTransfer, Vimeo, Evernote, fixes them, and never sells. It went from zero to $1B in revenue in 10 years and closed its first trading day up 40% on a $1.68B raise. CEO Luca Ferrari on the model every advisor told him to kill: 'betting on growing primarily through acquisitions where everybody was telling us you got to focus on one product... pretty much every single company that I've seen do that, they have done much worse than we have.' A roll-up of has-been apps is now worth more than most of the startups Silicon Valley calls the future. Source: The Italian CEO @bendingspoons

  The weirdest AI-era market signal today was not a model launch. It was Wall Street cheering AOL’s new parent. Bending Spoons, the Italian roll-up behind AOL, Vimeo, Eventbrite and other “old internet” brands, ripped on its first trading day. Shares were up as much as 52% and closed about 40% above the IPO price, according to WSJ coverage. That matters because this was supposed to be the era where only frontier AI labs and zero-to-one startups get rewarded. But public markets are sending a different message: if AI makes software cheaper to build, then existing distribution gets more valuable, not less. Users, billing relationships, search traffic, archives, brand memory, and neglected products with real audiences suddenly look like underpriced assets. The winners may not just be the companies inventing new AI tools. They may also be the operators buying tired digital properties and rebuilding them with AI, automation, and brutal cost discipline. Watch for more money to chase AI-enabled roll-ups, not just AI-native apps. The next big tech winners might look less like inventors and more like private-equity-style owners of forgotten internet real estate. Is this just an IPO pop, or the first real sign that AI rewards ownership and distribution more than novelty?
