Vimeo owner Bending Spoons agrees to buy Airtable for $1.29b

Vimeo母公司Bending Spoons宣布以12.9亿美元收购协同办公软件Airtable，这一消息让科技圈颇感意外。Airtable相当于“给不会编程的人用的高配版Excel”，用户可以像搭积木一样轻松搭建项目管理、库存追踪等定制化工具，深受初创团队喜爱。然而近年来估值一路下滑，终于被这位欧洲应用开发“猎手”收入囊中。对普通用户而言，最直接的变化可能是Airtable未来将逐步融入Bending Spoons的付费订阅体系，免费功能可能缩减。更深层来看，这起收购释放了一个信号：曾经靠烧钱抢占市场的“独角兽”时代正在落幕，具备稳定现金流的企业服务软件成为资本追逐的焦点。可以预见，性价比更高、功能更贴合实际业务需求的轻量级数字化工具，将更快地走进中小企业甚至个人工作者的日常。
