01<\/span>Investment Thesis<\/h2>\n

Bending Spoons is a data-driven capital allocator built around a shared operating platform.<\/strong> It buys products with established demand, rebuilds their operations, retains the businesses and reinvests the cash they generate. Management is trying to turn that process into a permanent compounding machine for digital businesses. [14]<\/a>, [17]<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
