  @HayleyWazEre Long story short, AOL and the largest business-to-business Internet Service Provider at the time (UUNET), were both headquartered here. Companies started laying a lot of fiber. This has been going on for 25 years here. They take a lot of water and power.

  Bending Spoons($BSP ) is best understood as a software holding company built around recurring cash flow. Its playbook is direct: buy a digital business with proven demand, rebuild the product and cost base, improve pricing and conversion, then reinvest the cash into another acquisition. Evernote, Vimeo, WeTransfer, Remini and AOL are assets inside that operating system. The numbers make the model clear. In Q1 2026, subscriptions produced 84% of revenue, advertising 12%, and other sources 4%. Revenue grew from $387 million in 2023 to $1.31 billion in 2025, with acquisitions driving much of the increase. The figure I keep coming back to is customer tenure. In Q1 2026, 48% of subscription revenue came from customers with at least five years of tenure, including 28% from customers with at least ten. That gives Bending Spoons time to make deep changes to products it plans to own for the long run. The investment case comes down to execution: buy well, improve the asset, and compound the cash. The risk follows the same logic. Acquisition-led growth only compounds if management keeps choosing the right targets and improves them without weakening products that users already depend on.

  @Rajatsoni Calling XRP holders stupid while chasing BTC because it was invented first is hilarious. By that logic we should all still be using AOL and BlackBerrys. Tech history is littered with first movers that got passed by better technology. BTC has had 15+ years to scale and and hasn’t

  Everyone worries over EU startups flipping to the US. One Italian company is buying up American ones instead. You probably opened three of their apps this week. Bending Spoons is a Milan company most people outside Italy might never have heard of. Founded in 2013. Started as an app studio. Then it turned into an acquisition machine. The list is close to absurd now: AOL, Vimeo, Evernote, WeTransfer, Meetup, Eventbrite, Brightcove, Komoot, StreamYard. Recently they added Airtable. Over 50 deals in total. Most of the marquee names are American. All of it runs out of a single office in Milan. We all see European startups do the reverse Delaware flip. Move from the EU to incorporate in the US, chase US capital, hand control across the Atlantic. Bending Spoons runs it the other way. It buys American brands and moves ownership and control to Europe. You do not see that often. Bravi, @bendingspoons !! I run a European company, and we have a subsidiary in Milan. Nothing against US startups, but I want my kids to grow up in a Europe that buys, not only one that gets bought.

  It is a daily barrage of fake *** accounts online that all claim to want me, up until they ask for me to install an app and talk to them about a business opportunity. I am so damn tired of this new internet. I want to go back to AOL or even Prodigy, maybe even Compuserve.

  There's a line in The Lean Startup that stung when I read it last week: "learning" is the oldest excuse in the book for a failure of execution. Eric Ries tells the story of IMVU's first product. His team spent six months building an instant-messaging add-on, based on a genuinely smart-sounding strategy: piggyback on existing IM networks (AOL, Yahoo!, MSN), ride their network effects, spread virally through people's existing friend lists. Whiteboard-brilliant. They launched. Nobody used it. When they finally sat real customers down in front of the product, every assumption fell apart. Customers weren't scared of learning new software - the average teenager ran eight IM clients at once. They didn't want to chat with existing friends through avatars - they wanted to meet strangers. The "obvious" barrier the whole strategy was built around wasn't a barrier at all. Ries's point isn't "test more." It's sharper than that: in a startup, any effort that doesn't produce evidence about what customers actually want is waste - no matter how well it's executed. He calls the real version of this validated learning, to separate it from the after-the-fact story you tell yourself when something doesn't work. I'm sitting in a smaller version of that exact test right now with Owoye. One of the assumptions baked into the product is that WhatsApp and IG sellers want their invoices auto-matched to incoming payments. It sounds obviously useful from where I sit. But that's precisely the position IMVU's team was in - certain, and wrong, about what would remove friction for their customer. So this week will not be spent refining the feature. It will be spent in conversations with actual sellers, watching how they track who's paid right now - screenshots, memory, WhatsApp scrollback - before deciding whether "auto-match" solves their problem or just mine. The uncomfortable question worth asking about your own product this week: is the thing you're building solving a problem your customer has, or a problem you have with how your customer works?
