Summary

Bending Spoons has acquired Airtable for $1.285 billion, a significant drop from Airtable's peak valuation of over $11 billion in 2021. This acquisition reflects a broader trend of decreasing SaaS valuations, with multiples compressing due to the rise of AI making it easier to replicate software tools, thus diminishing their competitive moat.
