Busy times at StreamYard! 🦆 Product lead Davide Simonetti shares the latest: “We’re digging deep into the product and getting precious insights from our customers. After nearly 2,500 survey responses, we’ve identified some of the most pressing customer needs and are rolling out features to address them. One such feature is the Reusable studio. ♻ Speaking with customers, we understood we could make the experience of starting a new broadcast smoother and easier. We wanted to remove the hassle of creating a new studio each time, sharing new links with recurring guests, and struggling to manage multiple episodes. So, we’re introducing a new way to reuse the same studio again and again. This is just one example—the more we learn about StreamYard, the clearer it gets that there’s so much more to explore! So we’ll keep learning, listening, and building to make it better and better."

We’ve acquired WeTransfer! Bending Spoons is the new owner of the beloved brand and digital file-sharing and collaboration platform that powers 2 billion file transfers by 80 million active users each month. “When the possibility of acquiring WeTransfer presented itself, we moved swiftly to make it happen. There's so much about WeTransfer that impresses us. First and foremost, it's a terrific product that solves a real, widespread need—and does so better than most competitors. This provides a solid foundation to build upon, with plenty of potential to enhance WeTransfer's usefulness even further. Additionally, the brand is extremely strong, particularly among creatives, which is no small achievement and offers great promise for the future.” —Luca Ferrari We appreciate the commitment the WeTransfer team has made to social responsibility and the creative community, and we want to carry the torch. Therefore, we’ve pledged to donate at least $3 million to The Supporting Act Foundation over the next two years. The Foundation’s mission is to support emerging artists and artist-led groups from under-represented communities. We’ve also pledged to continue reserving 30% of WeTransfer’s advertising space to give-back campaigns and editorial content for the foreseeable future. Additionally, WePresent will keep showcasing the work of deserving creators, including emerging artists. This is our largest acquisition to date and we can’t wait to get our hands dirty—with technology, product, and marketing—to make WeTransfer even more successful going forward.
