In BriefIn its first acquisition since going public last month, Bending Spoons on Tuesday said that it has agreed to buy spreadsheet and database startup Airtable for $1.28 billion in cash.
Founded in 2013, Airtable has so far raised more than $1.4 billion over multiple funding rounds.
With its current net cash-and-cash-equivalents balance, Airtable is now valued at about $2.25 billion, Bending Spoons said.
The value being delivered is reflected in annual recurring revenue growing over 20% YoY to approximately $480 million as of June 2026, and joining forces with Bending Spoons will accelerate innovation even further,” Bending Spoons’ founder Luca Ferrari said in a statement.
The company’s CEO, Howie Liu, said at the time that Airtable serves over 500,000 organizations, including 80% of the Fortune 100.
