Osso VR, a San Francisco-based virtual reality surgical training company, is laying off 67 employees at its corporate headquarters, with the cuts set to be completed by May 27, 2024. The layoffs significantly impact art and illustration roles, accounting for 30 of the positions eliminated. While the exact current employee count isn't specified, the company had 180 employees in March 2023, indicating this reduction represents a substantial portion of its workforce. CEO Greg Born stated the move aims to enhance operational efficiency and align resources with market demands, part of a strategic shift toward profitability amid a broader downturn in digital health funding. This follows leadership changes in February, including the appointment of Born as CEO, signaling a refocus on operational and strategic growth.
