Bending Spoons has ~1,000 potential acquisition targets & plans to do 5–10 deals a year.

But Head of M&A Francesco Patarnello says they aren’t targeting one specific category:
“We've always been very agnostic to the vertical and the category. We try to do things in different worlds and constantly expand the capabilities of the things that we can do.”
“We don't want to focus on one specific vertical. We want to keep our scope relatively broad. Within this broad scope, the focus is to look for businesses that have a lot of potential to be unlocked.”
The question behind every deal: How much more valuable could this business become on Bending Spoons’ platform?
