Just a week before the acquisition announcement, Vimeo’s CEO posted on LinkedIn about a 10% staff reduction, paradoxically describing the company as a "family." This move hints at the tough decisions ahead as Bending Spoons takes the reins.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>For Vimeo, which lost 90% of its market value since going public in 2021 in a bid for independence, this acquisition is nothing short of a monster deal. The $1.38 billion price tag translates to 3.3 times the company’s annual revenue and an astonishing 40 times its profit.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>The offer of $7.85 per share represents a 63% premium over recent stock prices, delighting shareholders but leaving many scratching their heads about the valuation. While the exact reasoning behind such a hefty investment remains unclear, congratulations are in order for those who held Vimeo stock through its turbulent journey.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>However, the outlook for Vimeo’s users is less rosy. Bending Spoons is known for implementing paywalls and optimizing businesses for profit margins exceeding 50%.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Industry observers predict that free and low-cost plans, along with non-enterprise products, are likely to disappear as the Italian firm applies its signature turnaround playbook.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cpicture class=\"image-align-left\">\u003Csource srcset=\"https://cdn.quasa.io/photos/00/photo_2025-09-15_16-01-59.webp\" type=\"image/webp\">\u003Cimg alt=\"Italian Tech Firm Bending Spoons Acquires Vimeo for \u003Cimg.38 Billion in Monster Deal\" class=\"image-align-left\" height=\"261\" src=\"https://cdn.quasa.io/photos/00/photo_2025-09-15_16-01-59.jpg\" width=\"200\" />\u003C/picture> This shift could alienate Vimeo’s creative community, which has long relied on the platform for affordable video hosting and sharing.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Bending Spoons’ track record offers a glimpse into what might lie ahead. After acquiring Evernote, the note-taking app saw significant restructuring, while the purchase of WeTransfer involved a drastic 75% staff reduction.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>The firm’s focus on streamlining operations and boosting profitability has yielded results, but it often comes at the cost of layoffs and higher user fees.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>With Vimeo now in its portfolio, the company is poised to leverage its video technology assets, potentially expanding self-service tools and enterprise offerings, as hinted by Vimeo’s CEO.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>\u003Cpicture class=\"image-align-right\">\u003Csource srcset=\"https://cdn.quasa.io/photos/00/image-2025-09-15t160942777.webp\" type=\"image/webp\">\u003Cimg alt=\"Italian Tech Firm Bending Spoons Acquires Vimeo for \u003Cimg.38 Billion in Monster Deal\" class=\"image-align-right\" height=\"169\" src=\"https://cdn.quasa.io/photos/00/image-2025-09-15t160942777.jpg\" width=\"300\" />\u003C/picture>Also read:\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cul>\n\t\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https://quasa.io/media/ai-startup-inception-point-builds-a-podcast-factory-a-bold-bet-or-a-futile-experiment\">AI Startup Inception Point Builds a Podcast Factory: A Bold Bet or a Futile Experiment?\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\n\t\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https://quasa.io/media/china-launches-world-s-largest-neutrino-detector\">China Launches World’s Largest Neutrino Detector\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\n\t\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https://quasa.io/media/anguilla-s-ai-domain-boom-millions-in-revenue-but-there-s-a-catch\">Anguilla’s AI Domain Boom: Millions in Revenue, But There’s a Catch\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\n\u003C/ul>\n\n\u003Cp>As the deal awaits shareholder and regulatory approvals, with an expected closure in the fourth quarter of 2025, the tech world watches with bated breath.
