BREAKING: Bending Spoons acquires Eventbrite. The news: Eventbrite, a pioneer in event ticketing, entered into a deal with Bending Spoon to be acquired for a reportedly proposed $ 500M valuation. This is major news in eventtech. Eventbrite has been one of the fastest-growing event technology companies. This growth accelerated in 2019, but the pandemic hit the company hard. Evenbrite never fully recovered from it, going through several rounds of repositioning. Enter Bending Spoons. One of the de facto large eventtech companies on the planet. The Italian company completed multiple acquisitions in the event-related technology sector. First, it was Meetup. StreamYard, Vimeo, and Brightcove - video platforms with strong virtual event products. Bending Spoon does not have a core business per se. It acquires high-potential brands and optimizes them using AI and ops centralization. The event vertical's interest has now been certified. While Bending Spoon professes no intention to merge businesses, the synergies of Meetup, Eventbrite, and the video platforms are now evident. We are witnessing the silent buildup of the largest consumer-event technology platform in the market.
