Bending Spoons Acquisition Meme Goes Viral: Swipe-to-Vote Site Predicts Its Next Buy
emeka_boris · x · 2026-09-11
Someone has built a swipe-to-vote site called "Who Will Bending Spoons Acquire Next": users swipe left or right on candidate companies, where each "acquire" vote adds 1% to that company's odds and each "pass" subtracts 1%, and users can also nominate new companies.
The site currently shows the latest "acquisition" as Miro — a $1.355 billion all-cash deal on an enterprise-value basis, expected to close in Q4 2026 (clearly a joke setting). The whole site is an interactive parody of the industry phenomenon of Bending Spoons' recent string of acquisitions of well-known products (Evernote, Meetup, Tolstoy, and more).
