With the leftover $40,000 and two former Evertale employees, Luca Querella and Tomasz Greber, they founded Bending Spoons in Copenhagen in June 2013. There was one year, though, where Bending Spoons didn’t buy a single company. Bending Spoons built Immuni and handed it over free of charge, under a perpetual, royalty-free license, and paused its acquisition machine for the year to do it. Within twelve months, Bending Spoons cut headcount from 341 people to 60, an 82 percent reduction, collapsed four layers of management into two, and rebuilt the backend from a monolith into microservices.
