Bending Spoons agrees to acquire Airtable for $1.285B

Sources: wire report, discussion
Summary: Bending Spoons agreed to acquire Airtable for $1.285 billion, its first acquisition after its IPO. The company release on businesswire.com returned HTTP 403 from this run, so the figures here come from the Reuters wire copy carried on Euronext.
Why it matters: Bending Spoons acquires and restructures digital businesses on a private-equity model and already took AOL and Eventbrite this year, so teams with workflows on Airtable should read this as roadmap and pricing risk rather than a neutral ownership change.
Follow-up: Track Airtable pricing and API changes after the deal closes.
