About

Supply chain software startup Flexport is laying off approximately 640 employees, representing 20% of its global workforce, as announced by co-CEOs Ryan Petersen and Dave Clark. The company, which was valued at $8 billion and topped CNBC's Disruptor 50 list last year, is responding to a global macroeconomic downturn and softening trade volumes that have reduced demand and volume forecasts for 2023. Like many tech firms that expanded rapidly during the pandemic, Flexport now faces the need to streamline operations and improve efficiency. The layoffs, announced in early 2023, aim to position the company for long-term success by becoming more nimble and fiscally responsible as it navigates challenging economic conditions.
