Jasper Health, a cancer care platform startup, laid off approximately half of its workforce in late May 2024, impacting around 24 employees from its pre-layoff total of about 48. The cuts significantly affected departments including engineering and product design. The company, which had raised $31 million in venture capital led by General Catalyst, operates in the health tech industry as a small-scale startup. The layoffs reflect broader challenges in the sector, even for well-funded ventures, though specific reasons for the downsizing were not disclosed by the company's leadership, who did not respond to requests for comment.
