Airtable

Les analystes de Mizuho ont défini l'opération comme un autre vote de confiance dans le modèle économique de la société de la part de l'un des investisseurs à long terme les plus respectés au monde.

Parallèlement, la société fait l'acquisition de logiciels tels qu'AirTable pour environ un virgule trois milliard de dollars et Miro pour un virgule trente-six milliard de dollars dans une période marquée par des réductions d'effectifs.

L'analyste Lloyd Walmsley a observé que le modèle de Bending Spoons se distingue du private equity traditionnel pour la profondeur des modifications opérationnelles qu'il apporte aux produits.

What is your kind of take on the current, like, let's say, venture or startup landscape?

Yeah, I mean, we just saw Airtable get acquired by Bending Spoons, which is the startup graveyard.

I mean, okay, exit for some early investors, but certainly I think like the enterprise value, you know, they had cash.

And so they get some of that was like 2 billion some and had been valued at like 11 billion.

I love that because you

can also probably do this through like a form also or instead of maybe just like a straight up email, you could put it in like a Google form or an Airtable form or whatever.

Allison, you can automate that form automatically.

Unless you do your onboarding with somebody, you can schedule the ask for three months later instead of waiting until after when they like when I worked with people on retainers.

So I just wrote a template.

You can just send them that.

I'll link you to the Airtable base I talked about.

I'll show you how to make posts, like walk you through how to make posts that integrate the social proof, all of it, and learn more about the nerdy psychology if you're into that.

There's probably a whole genre of businesses that could do what you've done and go after the zombie bending spoons companies.

I think I saw massive layoffs at Airtable, the kind of spreadsheet company last week that was taken over by Bending Spoons.

And they've controlled probably close to 20 companies now.

I haven't checked exactly, but your approach could easily be mimicked in 20 plus different niches going after those dead Bending Spoons companies.

one.

But yeah, it's a real shame because there's a lot of headlines out there about bending spoons and they all follow the same sort of outcomes.

There'll be the headline out there right now for Airtable and that we'll talk about all the stuff now.

that are are let go but it'll be a very short short snippet short-lived um before quite often the news goes back to how how successful uh uh bending screens are um and um financially yeah absolutely uh and lots of people have been finding this as a kind of like you know There's loads of podcasts out there, loads of chit chat out there just being, oh, Bending Spoons, incredible business.

I love that.

And then another one of your topics that you like to do beyond the spreadsheet, Airtable for Research Logs.

So that will be fun because there's some fun new things with Airtable I'm sure you will share as well in that one.

Yeah.

And then speaking of panels, you are doing a panel titled The Future of AI in Genealogy 2027.

It's like you need to make sure that you have processes to tag to create folder structure and create sense around your data assets.

I think Notion and Airtable have been amazing technologies for the organization of data that will ultimately feed into AI use cases.

So those are two really great resources that we use.

And then like make.com can interact with that and you can build really cool stuff off of it.

I end up being able to spend more time in my community of my membership and give really good actionable advice because everything I need for my own business is already taken care of.

I actually use a mix of Claude and Airtable for this.

So this is getting into like the technical piece.

You don't need to track things or what have you with.
