About

On January 5, 2023, digital identity verification company Socure laid off 104 employees, representing nearly 19% of its peak workforce. The company, which had over 550 employees prior to the cuts, cited softer demand from key market verticals like fintech, gaming, and crypto, alongside a broader economic slowdown. This followed a previous reduction of 69 employees in mid-2022. CEO Johnny Ayers explained the layoffs resulted from aggressive hiring in 2021 just before the economic downturn, prompting a strategic shift to focus on core product innovation and enterprise growth with leaner teams in 2023. The company is providing benefits and outplacement support to affected staff.
