Last update: 5 hours agoM&A for Italian software: Bending Spoons has agreed to buy Airtable for $1.28B in cash, valuing Airtable at about $2.25B after net cash—its first acquisition since going public and a bet that enterprise productivity tools will keep growing even after the startup valuation reset.
