SoundCloud cuts jobs, closes SF and London offices

I just quit the payments team with Pje a month ago and I can say no one saw this coming. The entire payments and subscriptions infrastructure is now unmanned. Pje was a veteran but most of the team was <6 months and we just moved into a new space. The numbers seemed good to me.

The silver lining here is that recruiters are in a blood frenzy; I've had ~30 messages come in today.

I did the back of the napkin math, and saw this coming a year ago. The numbers just didn't work out.

When the whole finance team quit late last year, I knew it wasn't good.

I got out of there earlier this year. I feel bad for the new hires that were just coming in. I heard that a atleast one was just moving from the US to Germany, their things are still in transit in a shipping container and they just got laid off.

How was it going with the Go launch? I've been dealing with it on the b2b end and it has been pretty painful.
