Methodology

Blind verified startup and tech-industry layoffs from publicly available news coverage and social media reports published by a company’s chief executive or official company profile. The list may not be exhaustive, as it excludes company or staff memos, crowdsourced layoffs lists or spreadsheets of affected employees, social media posts, and other sources which could not be independently or reasonably verified.

All sources referenced are publicly available (some sources may require a news subscription or social media account) and linked in the Reason column.
