When Milan’s Bending Spoons made its dramatic Nasdaq debut this July, it marked a crowning moment for an aggressive software consolidator born from the ashes of a failing startup bought back for a single euro over a decade ago. Now valued at more than $25 billion, the firm has built a formidable, heavily leveraged restructuring machine that acquires beloved but stagnant consumer icons—like Evernote, WeTransfer, and Vimeo—and subjects them to radical operational surgery by slashing headcount, centralizing systems, and aggressively hiking subscription prices.
