Tractable, a computer-vision AI startup valued at $1 billion, has conducted two rounds of layoffs, cutting 10 to 15 employees in September 2022 and a larger number in January 2023, affecting teams across seven countries. The company, which uses AI to assess property and auto damage for insurers, cited a shift in investor focus from growth to profitability and the need to adapt to a challenging economic environment. Despite the broader AI investment boom, Tractable, like many tech firms, has been impacted by the global tech downturn and reduced venture capital funding. The layoffs are part of its effort to streamline operations and position for strategic growth in 2023.
