Bolt, a fintech startup that builds software to simplify the checkout process for merchants, has announced they are planning to eliminate 250 employees – almost one-third of their workforce. The company was once considered one of the most highly valued startups, valued at at $11 billion; however, the company was recently sued by Authentic Brands Group over a failed connection with retail store Forever 21 where they lost $150 million in online sales. Impacted staff is now on the fintech market looking to be hired. Bolt’s retrenching serves as yet another data point for devaluation in fintech assets.
