Gopuff laid off about 2% of its workforce on Thursday, the latest move by the startup to save cash as venture capital funding dries up for the once-hot rapid delivery sector.
The Philadelphia-based company, whose formal name is GoBrands Inc., fired more than 100 employees, according to people familiar with the matter. The reductions affected operations departments including engineering and information technology, the people said, asking not to be identified because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly. Gopuff had about 10,000 total employees as of September.
