Video platform company Vimeo is conducting another round of global layoffs following its $1.38 billion acquisition by Milanbased tech firm Bending Spoons in November 2025. The new cuts mark Vimeo’s second major workforce reduction since last year, following a roughly 10% staff cut in September 2025 ahead of the acquisition. Vimeo and Bending Spoons have not yet disclosed exact numbers for the most recent layoffs.

The latest restructuring includes significant reductions in development and operational teams, with reports indicating that entire regional offices — including Vimeo’s Israeli development hub — are being scaled down or closed.

Vimeo, originally founded in 2004 and spun off from IAC in 2021, is known for offering SaaSbased video hosting, creation, and streaming tools for creators and enterprise customers alike. The acquisition by Bending Spoons aimed to grow the platform as part of a broader suite of digital services, but costcutting and efficiency measures have become a major focus since the takeover.

Vimeo cut staff in September 2025 before the acquisition to “improve focus and efficiency.
Bending Spoons has a history of postacquisition workforce reductions, including at platforms like WeTransfer.

Why This Matters to MSPS

Changes like these aren’t just internal corporate decisions — they ripple throughout the tech ecosystem. For managed service providers (MSPs) and their clients, vendor instability or restructuring can impact

API and platform support — Staffing cuts in development teams can slow feature updates, bug fixes, and API reliability.
Product roadmaps — Strategic shifts may mean changes to platform priorities or longterm support commitments.
Customer service & SLAs — Reduced support teams can affect responsiveness and service quality.
Vendor risk assessments — Clients relying on SaaS platforms must consider potential changes in pricing, licensing, or service continuity.

As enterprise customers increasingly build workflows and systems that integrate with SaaS tools like video platforms, technology due diligence and contingency planning become essential.
