About

In May 2022, UK-based travel and entertainment technology company Pollen laid off approximately 200 employees, representing about one-third of its workforce. This significant reduction occurred just weeks after the company announced a $150 million Series C funding round. The layoffs were part of a broader cost-cutting initiative amid a cooling tech market, reflecting challenges in the events and travel tech industry. Pollen, which operated as a two-sided marketplace connecting music festivals with travelers, faced mounting difficulties that later culminated in its bankruptcy, leaving many employees unpaid.
