As of September 26, 2026, Airtable has not filed a registration statement (Form S-1 or F-1) for a US initial public offering, and under the current all-cash acquisition agreement none is expected; no such filing appears on SEC EDGAR, which covers only US filings. On August 4, 2026, Bending Spoons agreed to acquire Airtable in an all-cash deal, TechCrunch reported, giving Airtable an enterprise value of about $1.28 billion and an implied equity value of about $2.25 billion once Airtable's cash is included. Bloomberg reported the same figures the same day, noting the implied equity value marks a steep drop from Airtable's 2021 peak valuation of $11.7 billion. Bending Spoons' own investor newsroom confirmed a signed definitive agreement to acquire 100% of Airtable at a $1.285 billion enterprise value (about $2.25 billion implied equity value), calling it Bending Spoons' first acquisition since the company itself listed on the Nasdaq exchange under ticker BSP on July 1, 2026. Track SEC EDGAR and Bending Spoons' investor newsroom directly for closing details, not secondary market chatter.

Key points
An acquisition, not an IPO
On August 4, 2026, TechCrunch reported that Bending Spoons agreed to acquire Airtable in an all-cash deal, giving Airtable an enterprise value of about $1.28 billion and an implied equity value of about $2.25 billion once Airtable's cash is included. Bending Spoons' own investor newsroom confirmed the news the same day: a signed definitive agreement to acquire 100% of Airtable at a $1.285 billion enterprise value, with the same roughly $2.25 billion implied equity value.
That is a signed acquisition agreement, not a registration statement. As of September 26, 2026, no S-1 or F-1 for Airtable appears on SEC EDGAR, which covers only US filings, and under the current all-cash agreement none is expected: an acquired private company does not separately list its own shares.
The valuation math
Bloomberg reported on August 4, 2026 that the deal's implied equity value of about $2.25 billion marks a steep drop from Airtable's 2021 peak valuation of $11.7 billion, when the company last raised money as a fast-growing, richly valued private startup.
TechCrunch and Bending Spoons' investor newsroom both put the enterprise value at roughly $1.28 billion ($1.285 billion in the newsroom's figure), with the higher implied equity value reflecting Airtable's own cash on hand once that is added in.
Bending Spoons' first deal since its own listing
Bending Spoons' investor newsroom described the Airtable agreement as its first acquisition since the company itself listed on the Nasdaq exchange under ticker BSP on July 1, 2026. TechCrunch reported the same framing: Bending Spoons' first acquisition since it went public the previous month.
For Airtable, that makes an already-public acquirer, not an independent listing, the route into the public markets. Anyone tracking a possible Airtable IPO should watch SEC EDGAR directly and Bending Spoons' own investor newsroom for closing details, not secondary-market chatter.

Searches like 'When Will Airtable IPO? Bending Spoons Is Buying It Instead' are research questions: what a filing or a company statement confirms, what has only been reported, and what is still unknown.
What counts as a listing step
For an IPO, the primary record is a registration statement filed with the securities regulator of the listing market, such as an S-1 or F-1 on SEC EDGAR for a US listing. Funding rounds, valuations and secondary-market prices are context, not listing steps.

How a company reaches a US listing
The SEC filing trail
DraftThe company can first submit a draft registration statement (DRS) for confidential SEC review.
S-1 or F-1The registration statement goes public on SEC EDGAR: Form S-1, or Form F-1 for many foreign companies. A company that used a draft must file publicly at least 15 days before its roadshow.
AmendmentsS-1/A or F-1/A amendments answer SEC comments, and one of them adds the expected price range.
PricingOnce the SEC declares the registration effective, the company sets the price with its underwriters and files the final prospectus, usually a 424B4.
First tradeThe shares start trading on the exchange named in the prospectus, such as Nasdaq or the NYSE.

Risk notes
Rumor risk: unofficial dates, valuations, or funding details circulating on social media or forums are frequently wrong or outdated and should not be treated as confirmation of anything.
Illiquidity risk: any private-market interest, indicative marks, or pre-IPO share arrangements in a company that has not listed can be difficult to exit and may not reflect a tradable price.
Timing risk: a company can pause, restart, or abandon IPO preparation at any stage, including after a confidential or public filing, so no step before pricing guarantees a listing.
