The company has leaned heavily into M&A to grow, closing its purchase of Vimeo in November and announcing in October that it would buy AOL for $1.5 billion. It raised $4 billion in debt financing in 2025 to support its AOL acquisition and future M&A activity.Bending Spoons has a history of making job cuts after buying up companies. The firm laid off 75% of WeTransfer staff after purchasing the document-transfer platform, for example."I wish I could say it was a surprise," one Vimeo staffer who was affected by the latest rounds of layoffs said of the recent cuts.Since its founding in 2004, Vimeo has fought to position itself as a premium video hosting platform and an alternative to YouTube. In recent years, the company has leaned into software offerings beyond hosting, such as webinars and other events. Vimeo was previously owned by media holding company IAC, which spun it off as a public company in May 2021.Vimeo is not the only tech company to trim staff this year. Others, including Meta and TikTok, have let workers go as they've sought to restructure or trim down certain business lines. Some are also freezing hiring in 2026 as they await a clearer economic picture or pursue cost efficiencies with tools like AI.Have a tip?
