Bending Spoons has become one of Europe's most valuable private technology companies by buying struggling digital businesses, cutting costs and rebuilding them for long-term growth.
In this video, Val Cipriani joins Mark Robinson to explain the unusual business model behind the Italian tech group, why its IPO has attracted so much attention, and how it has built a portfolio including brands such as WeTransfer, Evernote, Meetup, Eventbrite and Vimeo.
We also discuss what the listing means for Baillie Gifford's investment trusts, how profitable Bending Spoons really is, and whether its acquisition-led strategy can continue to deliver strong returns.
