Comment on Harvest hikes bills by 1500% after purchased by Bending Spoons

A tale as old as time… Bending Spoons is who you sell to when you have developed contempt for your customers.

ETA: and contempt for your staff, too, since they basically always lose their jobs after explaining what they do

We're going to see more of this as the web 2.0 and mobile development booms fade, and I don't have a good solution. What do you do when you're a mature SaaS with a solid customer base, stalled growth, headcount for hypergrowth, and investors looking to move on.

They’re literally just a big private equity firm with maybe above average PR

Same model, but they're more like a holding company for a bunch of tech stuff.

They're apparently a great employer in Italy, which is a much better cost structure than the US (from their perspective).
