Airtable lays off a large part of its team under parent Bending Spoons

Airtable is laying off a large part of its team, the company announced, as parent Bending Spoons shifts its products toward smaller teams.

Airtable says the cuts are not a reflection of the work of those affected, but of its belief that small teams ship more and better. Airtable says it plans a new Core team, Performance and Infra teams, and upgrades to Omni, Canvas, and MCP.

Gergely Orosz says Airtable had about 930 people, and that Bending Spoons runs roughly 20 products, including Evernote, Meetup, Vimeo, Eventbrite, and WeTransfer, with fewer than 900 staff as far as he knows. He says the company's model is to run products with much smaller teams than before. The number of employees cut is not stated in the reports.
