Bending Spoons is not acting like a typical acquirer—it’s building a learning machine that can scale, retool, and keep compounding. In this condensed version of Sourcery, Molly O'Shea speaks with CEO Luca Ferrari about how the company uses a shared operating system, proprietary technologies, and AI to improve products, monetization, and operations across its portfolio.

Ferrari explains why the company buys to hold forever, how it evaluates hundreds of businesses but only pursues a few, and why it rejects the private equity label. You’ll also hear how AltSpooner, their internal Slack-based AI agent, is boosting productivity, and why Ferrari says the team relies on scientific discipline, humility, and thousands of experiments to stay sharp.
