It's just a bear market affecting web2 as well. NFTs are still trading, blockchains still running. PMF is hard to find for products and platforms in an industry which is less than 20 years old and is evolving rapidly. That's why blockchains and protocols get much more capital allocation.

I would disagree on that With respect to Rario, I'd heard they'd been facing some compliance issues a while back. I think they probably went unresolved I also think they probably overspent - complete speculation - but I don't see why they needed a 10 member ex - Uber legal team, they'd have cost QUITE a LOT

Unacademy getting acquired?

PREVIOUS POST GOT DELETED! Rumours are floating that Unacademy is getting sold by one of its main investors to another Edtech company in their portfolio for just 400 Million dollars, their last round valuation was 3.5 Billion dollars But founder Gaurav Munjal said they have 200 Million in bank. Getting confused - Is this a repeat of Byju 2.0? They have fired the CTO and co-founder Hemesh Singh and Roman Saini ( other co-founder) is also not seen anywhere I am worried if more people are to be laid off? More information in comments sourced via a friend

There was a time swiggy was known for good leadership. Where are all those good people? I see PIP, depression, harassment, layoff posts from Swiggy off late. What’s is going on?

Shopflo layoffs

Shopflo laid off 28% of the team today - still don’t understand how this company exists and is hoping to make any money. Having no idea what to do next, they’re desperate to travel to US now to try and capture market there - reminder that this is a market with Fast and Bolt, both massively funded, shut down completely 🤡

I had an offer with Virgio but it’s been put on hold twice. They are pivoting from fast fashion to circular fashion. My head is spinning in circles. Should I hold out for the joining with bated breath ? Bhai log. Advice do please.
