Bending Spoons’ Acquisition Spree Continues — Now Eyeing Vimeo and AOL

[etfs]

Bending Spoons is on a buying tear. In the past two years, it’s snapped up Evernote, WeTransfer, Filmic, Meetup, StreamYard, Issuu, Brightcove, Harvest, and Komoot.
Next up: Vimeo (in a $1.38 billion all-cash deal) and AOL, both expected to close by year-end.
The company says AOL still has 30 million monthly users and remains a top-10 global email provider.
Backed by $2.8 billion in debt financing, Bending Spoons is building one of the most ambitious tech portfolios in Europe.
