Bending Spoons to Acquire Airtable for $1.28 Billion in Cash

Major Buyout Firm Continues Strategy of Acquiring SaaS Platforms

Technology holding company Bending Spoons has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Airtable in a transaction valued at $1.28 billion. The acquisition represents a significant valuation contraction from Airtable's peak $11 billion valuation during the 2021 funding boom.

Bending Spoons, known for acquiring established digital products like Evernote, Meetup, and WeTransfer, plans to apply its operational playbook to streamline Airtable's cost structure while expanding AI-driven workflow features across enterprise tier accounts.
