Miro (RealtimeBoard Inc.)'s Growth & Acquisition Strategy
After pandemic-era growth slowed, Miro focused on enterprise accounts, cost discipline and AI. It cut about 7% of staff (119 people) in January 2023 and about 275 roles in late 2024, repositioned itself as an 'AI Innovation Workspace', and pushed AI features such as AI-generated diagrams, summaries and canvas-based workflows. Acquisitions of Around (video, 2022) and Uizard (AI design prototyping, 2024) added product capabilities. In 2026 the company chose a sale to Bending Spoons over an IPO.
How Miro (RealtimeBoard Inc.) Makes Money
Miro makes money from software subscriptions. Anyone can use a free plan with a limited number of editable boards; teams then pay per member for Starter and Business plans, and large organizations sign annual Enterprise contracts that add security controls, admin tools, data residency and support. Growth is product-led: boards are shared by link, so invited colleagues become new users and usage spreads inside a company until IT buys a company-wide license. By 2026 nearly 90% of Miro's roughly $600 million in ARR came from business and enterprise customers, and more than 750 customers paid over $100,000 a year. AI features (Miro AI and canvas-based AI workflows) are packaged into paid plans with usage credits.

How does Miro integrate third-party developers through its developer platform?

Italian software holding company Bending Spoons has a track record of acquiring recognized digital software products (such as Evernote, Meetup, and WeTransfer) and ruthlessly optimizing operational efficiency, subscription pricing, and cash flow generation.
