Luca Ferrari says Bending Spoons has never been outbid: “I don't remember a single case, at least not in the last five years, in which we put forth an offer and then the seller sold to someone else.” “We always say, ‘Do you want to shop it around?’ Often people try to look for exclusives. They're like, ‘This is my offer, but unless I get exclusivity within five days, the offer is gone.’ Because they know that their best chance is to win on timing. They know the offer is not that great.” “In our case, we almost always say, ‘If you want to, we encourage you to go and shop it around.’ Because once you convince yourself that this is the best offer, it'll be easier for us too. We'll sign faster, and we'll close more easily.”
