Matteo Danieli
Matteo Danieli is the co-founder and Chief Product Officer of Bending Spoons, a Milan-based technology company that owns and operates digital products including Evernote, Meetup, Vimeo, and WeTransfer. He co-founded the company in 2013 after a prior venture called Evertale failed, leading him and his co-founders to develop a strategy focused on minimizing the role of luck in business success through operational excellence. Bending Spoons went public on the Nasdaq in July 2026 at an over $18 billion valuation, with shares closing approximately 40% higher on the first day of trading. Danieli holds a stake in the company reportedly worth $1.3 billion and has emphasized the role of AI in accelerating the company's ability to ship new features.
