WOLF by Fedez - Episodio 5 - Bending Spoons: la startup che ha raccolto 340 milioni

This podcast episode interviews Luca Ferrari and Matteo Danieli, founders of the Italian tech company Bending Spoons. The discussion covers their journey from a failed startup (Evertale) to Bending Spoons' current success, including the development of popular apps like Remini and Splice, and their experience creating the Immuni contact tracing app during the COVID-19 pandemic. The founders detail their business strategies, funding rounds (including investments from notable figures like Ryan Reynolds and Eric Schmidt), and their focus on building a strong company culture. A key takeaway is their emphasis on prioritizing team building and a meritocratic hiring process, even utilizing unconventional methods like logic tests to assess candidates beyond traditional resumes. The interview concludes with reflections on the differences between the American and Italian entrepreneurial landscapes and advice for aspiring entrepreneurs.
