Bending Spoons is built on the conviction that operational excellence enables efficient growth through acquisitions. We acquire digital businesses, implement deep transformations and ongoing optimizations to sustainably expand earnings, and reinvest in additional acquisitions, thereby continuing the compounding cycle. We have executed this Playbook for more than a decade and, to date, have not sold a material business. Our performance is driven by our Platform?—?comprising our people, proprietary technologies, and proprietary data?—?and reflects our intense focus on achieving exceptional talent density, cultural strength, and technical capabilities. Since our founding, we have endeavored to be at the cutting edge of relevant technology. AI is no exception: For years, we have been leveraging it to enhance products, optimize marketing and monetization, and improve productivity. Many of our proprietary technologies incorporate AI. Our team of Spooners includes hundreds of talented and motivated software engineers, data scientists, and AI research engineers. We estimate that the share of pull requests8 authored or coauthored by AI increased from less than 10% in Q1 2025 to more than 90% by the end of Q1 2026, with around 70% authored by AI alone. Revenue per full-time equivalent Spooner9 was $1.12 million in 2023, $1.64 million in 2024, $2.57 million in 2025, and $0.97 million in Q1 2026, with AI being one of the catalysts of productivity gains.
