About

CommonBond, a financial technology company, laid off 22 employees as part of a strategic shift to focus exclusively on solar financing, ceasing its student loan origination business. The layoffs, announced in a LinkedIn post by CEO David Klein, were a direct result of this business model pivot. While the exact total workforce and percentage affected were not disclosed, the move underscores the company's redirection towards the renewable energy sector, where its solar business had become its largest and fastest-growing segment. The transition was effective as of the announcement, with student loan operations winding down by June 15.
