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 🤡

One click checkout has been a challenging product to pull off in every company

Seems lile no moat. Heard razorpay and cashfree are working on releasing a similar product.

GoKwik seems to be doing pretty well; happen to know their core team. Cashfree acquired Zecpe in the same space.

Apparently struggling to raise followup rounds and even justify current valuations 🤡🤡

An early stage company, with decent cash in bank (unless they burnt through their entire seed rohnd) and now laying off 8/29 people is just a master class on how not to run a company 🙌🏼

Funfact: One of the people affected was hired 3 months back, 3 MONTHS!! Clear lack of vision amongst the founders.

3 months sounds like a probation gone bad

Sad indeed. I saw them doing colab with Indian DTC brands. Thought they were doing quite good

Yeah, same. Felt like they were a hit with most shark 🦈 tank brands

Firing at Moglix

15% or close to 200 folks being fired. Reason- revenue per employee to be increased. Revenue not going up so firing employees. Mainly lower level.
