Edge: A newly public European acquirer that can write a $1.355 billion EV cheque for Miro two months after listing — the diligence is integration and close risk, not whether BSP has a ticker.
Bending Spoons is an operator-acquirer, not a venture fund. Compare the Miro print to other September acquisitions, not to a16z Growth.
