🎉Bending Spoons acquires WeTransfer, started by Bastiaan Beerens, founder and venture partner of DFF (Dutch Founders Fund) 👉🏻 Started in 2009, WeTransfer has grown into one of the most globally recognized and used brands in Tech. And although we might be slightly biased, it’s hard to argue with the facts: a profitable tech company with tens of millions of monthly users, billions of impressions and a NPS score of 87. Not bad for a homegrown tech company! The filesharing service was one of the first to use its landingspage as a digital canvas, using a significant share of its advertising inventory to showcase a range of disciplines; art, design, illustration, music, photography, fashion, tech. Ranging from all levels, from Rankin, FKA Twigs and The Royal Academy to students and new Kickstarter projects. Massive achievement by Bastiaan and everyone involved at WeTransfer. Glad to see the company is joining forces with another top-tier name in the creative industries CC Bending Spoons 🇳🇱🤝🇮🇹 https://lnkd.in/gB64TQTy
