Poparazzi Layoffs

About

Poparazzi, the photo-sharing app that briefly topped the App Store charts in 2021, is shutting down as of May 2023, effectively resulting in layoffs for its entire team. The company, which had grown to a team of 15 employees following a $15 million Series A funding round in 2022, cited declining user engagement and a pivot to an unsuccessful new app, "Made with Friends," as contributing factors. Operating in the competitive social media industry, the startup failed to sustain its initial hype despite its innovative concept of allowing users to only post photos of their friends. The closure was announced via a Medium post, with the app set to be discontinued and user data available for download until June 30, 2023.
