Public markets were hit hard in 2022, and this trickled down to private markets. Inflation concerns, rising interest rates and geopolitical issues have all contributed to a seesaw in the stock market.

Startups, especially those that have benefited from a pandemic boom that is starting to subside, are also starting to feel the pressure. Valuations, especially in the late stage, have started to fall, and startups say it’s much harder to raise new money in this environment.

Methodology

We included both startups and publicly traded companies based in the United States. We’ve also included companies based elsewhere that have a large team in the US, like Klarna, even when it’s unclear what proportion of the US workforce has been affected by the layoffs.

We found the layoffs in the media, social media posts and layoffs.fyia participatory database on technological layoffs.
