alt Hacker NewsThe technical infrastructure of Bending Spoons is interesting.
For people who don't know Bending Spoons, their strategy works as follows:
1. Buy SaaS company
2. Set up new product team of 15 people in Europe
3. Re-implement backend on Bending Spoons technical platform
4. Make the original company (100 people?) redundant
But what I find interesting is that their technical platform is fifty different generic reusable parts that work on whatever they put on top of it: Vimeo, Evernote, Miro, Airtable.
Combing back to OccupySaaS: there could be real value in a 'generic core' and then re-engineer all SaaS solutions on top. And then to get service again for the core.
bending spoons acquires products that already have users / customers though.
the software is hardly any difficult but sales or customer acquisition.
