The Mexican corporate employee benefits startup, which had a US$12 million Series A in August, laid off about 40% of its staff this week, as revealed by one of its founders, Miguel Medina, in a LinkedIn post. He wrote that it was “one of the hardest decisions, but I’m sure it’s the right thing to do for Plerk” and that 2023 is shaping up to be a complicated year for raising capital. “All of us founders are optimizing runway, so we don’t rely on outside investment next year,” he said. The runway is the amount of cash startups must have to survive a certain amount of time. Ualá. The Argentine personal finance fintech laid off 53 people in the region, CEO Pierpaolo Barbieri said on social media, where he implies that it is due to the “hyper-growth” of the company this year, which bought three companies and reached 1550 employees across the region. “These acquisitions created great opportunities, as well as duplicate positions and other operational inefficiencies,” he said. Kavak. The layoffs at this Mexican unicorn with a region-wide presence have been coming for two weeks. They began in Mexico, Brazil, Chile, and Peru, and this week it was the turn of its office in Argentina, where around 200 employees were reportedly laid off. In mid-November, cuts had been made throughout the region, although their extent is difficult to establish due to the company’s secrecy in this matter. Bloomberg Línea reported that the reduction of personnel would have been due to the recommendation of the consulting firm McKinsey. Lemon Cash. “Today, I have some sad news to share with you, news that no entrepreneur wants to give. I decided to reduce the size of our team by 38%”. So begins a post by Marcelo Cavazzoli, CEO and founder of this digital wallet for fiat and crypto money, one of the pioneers in LatAm in this area. There, he said that it was due to the recession and that it was “the right decision to make the company sustainable without the need for new investments in the coming years”. He dismissed that it had anything to do with the FTX case and clarified that it was no longer part of his investment portfolio. Source: Cntxto
