Bending Spoons has agreed to acquire workspace software maker Miro at an enterprise valuation of $1.355 billion in an all-cash deal, SquawkNews reported on Thursday.¹²

The transaction is slated to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, according to details published by SquawkNews.¹ The purchase marks one of the year's significant transactions in collaborative productivity software, consolidating Miro under the Milan-based technology firm's growing corporate umbrella.

News of the transaction initially surfaced publicly on September 10, 2026, when Federico Simionato posted a public statement on the social media platform X.² Simionato announced the transaction directly to followers, writing: "BREAKING: we've officially entered a deal to acquire Miro for $1.355B! 😍"²

The public post rapidly drew hundreds of thousands of views and thousands of user reactions within hours of appearing online.² Responders engaged with questions about product integrations and ownership changes across enterprise collaboration software. Financial news outlet SquawkNews subsequently published reporting confirming that Bending Spoons had agreed to purchase the business in an all-cash arrangement valued at $1.355 billion.¹

Miro operates as an enterprise workspace platform that provides collaborative digital canvases used by distributed product, design, and engineering teams. The company was founded in 2011 and is incorporated under RealtimeBoard, Inc.³ Over fifteen years of operation, the business expanded into a major collaboration hub, reporting more than 100 million users across 250,000 corporate customers globally.³ The platform employs more than 1,600 people distributed across 14 operational hubs worldwide, according to corporate disclosures.³

The acquisition agreement follows an active period of corporate development for Miro. In March 2026, the company completed its own acquisition of Reforge, an educational and product management platform geared toward software professionals.³ That earlier transaction brought Reforge's curriculum, executive team, and artificial intelligence development software into Miro's product offerings.³

Under the terms established during the Reforge integration, Brian Balfour, the founder and chief executive of Reforge, joined Miro as chief growth officer.³ Tom Willerer, who served as chief operating officer at Reforge, stepped into the role of chief strategy officer at Miro.³ Andrey Khusid, Miro's founder and chief executive officer, led the workspace business through that integration, positioning the platform around automated workflows and product strategy tools.³

The Reforge deal had broadened Miro's enterprise reach, adding access to an educational network that claimed more than 100,000 alumni across technology companies.³ Enterprise clients utilizing those systems included large corporate accounts such as Netflix, Mastercard, SAP, Workday, and Xero.³ While Reforge's educational arm continued operating as an independent, vendor-neutral unit at Reforge.com, its software capabilities were combined with Miro's core digital whiteboard products.³

Bending Spoons has established a reputation across the technology industry for acquiring established digital platforms and restructuring operations to improve cash generation. The acquisition of Miro brings a massive user base and substantial enterprise market penetration into Bending Spoons' expanding software portfolio.

Neither Miro nor Bending Spoons issued immediate public commentary detailing operational changes or staff impacts planned after the fourth-quarter closing date. Corporate filings and formal regulatory submissions associated with the transaction are expected prior to the finalization of the purchase.
