Bending Spoons
Bending Spoons S.p.A. is an Italian technology conglomerate, founded in 2013 and based in Milan.
Bending Spoons typically acquires products with existing product‑market fit and manages them for long-term ownership.
Luca Ferrari, Francesco Patarnello, and Matteo Danieli, worked on an unsuccessful venture-funded product startup called Evertale. They were left with $40,000, which became the seed capital for Bending Spoons in June 2013, also founded in Copenhagen. The company name was inspired by a scene from the science fiction movie The Matrix. The company moved to Milan in 2014.
On 17 April 2020, the Italian government released a statement on its website announcing that Bending Spoons had been selected to design and develop Italy's official COVID-19 contact tracing app, Immuni. The app was released on 1 June 2020. It was initially released in four regions, then countrywide.
The app did not receive significant adoption and successfully tracked less than 1% of the total confirmed positive cases reported during the period it was active. The most commonly cited reasons for not using the app were the lack of perceived effectiveness and major technical issues.
Immuni was decommissioned on December 31, 2022.
In September 2022, Bending Spoons acquired FiLMiC and converted its video-recording app FiLMiC Pro to a subscription revenue model. In December 2023, the original FiLMiC team were laid off, and development of FiLMiC Pro was continued in-house by Bending Spoons.
In November 2022, Bending Spoons agreed to acquire Evernote. The acquisition was concluded in January 2023. In July 2023, Evernote laid off all of its existing staff and announced it would relocate to Europe to be closer to Bending Spoons' headquarters.
