WeTransfer

WeTransfer is a cloud-based file transfer service founded in 2009 in Amsterdam, Netherlands, by Bas Beerens, Nalden (Ronald Hans), and Rinke Visser. It enables users to send large files online without the need for registration. In 2024, WeTransfer was acquired by Bending Spoons S.p.A., an Italian technology company based in Milan, which is known for its portfolio of mobile applications. Prior to the acquisition, WeTransfer had established itself as a leading platform for creative professionals, offering a suite of tools designed to facilitate collaboration and file sharing. The company has a global user base, with millions of active users worldwide. Following the acquisition, Bending Spoons integrated WeTransfer into its portfolio, aiming to enhance its offerings in the creative productivity space. The acquisition was part of Bending Spoons' strategy to expand its presence in the software industry, following previous acquisitions of companies like Evernote and Issuu. The integration of WeTransfer is expected to strengthen Bending Spoons' position in the market by providing a comprehensive suite of tools for creative professionals, combining file transfer capabilities with other productivity applications.
