Quibi Layoffs

About

Quibi, the short-form video streaming startup, laid off approximately 150 employees, representing its entire workforce, following its shutdown in early October 2020. The company, which had raised $1 billion from investors, launched six months earlier with high-profile leadership but failed to gain significant traction, attracting only around 500,000 subscribers against a target of 7 million. Operating in the streaming media industry, Quibi aimed to revolutionize mobile viewing with quick episodes but ultimately closed due to poor market adoption, affecting all departments primarily based in Los Angeles.
