About

In May 2020, the U.K.-based experience marketplace Pollen laid off 69 employees across North America, representing approximately 31% of its then 216-person workforce. An additional 34 staff in the U.K. were placed on furlough. The layoffs were a direct result of the severe impact the COVID-19 pandemic had on the travel and events industry, which forced countries into lockdown and triggered a recession. Despite having raised $60 million in funding just months prior in October 2019, the startup was forced to make significant cuts to its operations.
