Bending Spoons to Acquire Miro for $1.4 Billion
Italian software group Bending Spoons has signed a definitive agreement to acquire whiteboard collaboration platform Miro in an all-cash transaction with an enterprise value of $1.355 billion (€1.7 billion), implying an equity value of approximately $1.79 billion including Miro's net cash. Some existing Miro shareholders have agreed to reinvest $295 million of their proceeds into newly issued Bending Spoons shares. The deal values Miro at less than 8% of its $17.5 billion valuation from a 2022 funding round. Bending Spoons plans to invest in Miro's performance and functionality, continuing its strategy of acquiring and streamlining software companies, with over 50 acquisitions including Eventbrite, Vimeo, and Airtable. Miro has an ARR of about $600 million, with nearly 90% from business and enterprise customers, serving over 250,000 organizations and nearly 4 million paying users. The transaction, pending regulatory approvals, is expected to close in Q4 2026, supporting Bending Spoons' expansion ahead of a potential Nasdaq IPO.
