Flockjay Layoffs

About

In August 2021, Flockjay, a Y Combinator-backed startup in the edtech and bootcamp industry, laid off at least half of its workforce, impacting 30 to 45 employees out of an estimated total of 60 to 90 full-time staff. The layoffs affected all nontechnical teams, including admissions, business operations, partnerships, recruiting, and marketing. This drastic reduction came as the company pivoted from its core 10-week sales training bootcamp model to focus on developing a B2B SaaS platform aimed at sales operations and efficiency. The shift was driven by a strategic move to pursue more predictable revenue streams and scalable support for alumni and sales organizations, leading to the difficult decision to run its bootcamp classes in a limited capacity while building the new platform.
