On April 26, the head of Yuga Labs, Greg Solano, announced the termination of an undisclosed number of staff members. He communicated to his team that the organization had shifted from its original path and was loaded with overly complex internal procedures.
The exact figure of the workforce reduction isn’t shared yet, following a previous reorganization in October that left the company with over 120 employees. The CEO told the news through an email sent to employees that morning and subsequently posted a portion of this email on a social media platform, X.
In his tweet, he expressed his commitment to redirect Yuga Labs toward its foundational principles, recognizing that this pivot necessitates difficult choices, specifically the painful process of parting with skilled colleagues.
Assuming the role of CEO in February, Solano promised to steer the company with a renewed focus on blockchain-based strategies. Yuga Labs has seen substantial growth since the debut of its Bored Apes NFT line in 2021, becoming a dominant force in the industry.&nbsp;
The value of the Bored Apes skyrocketed to remarkable heights in 2022, with the least expensive ones conveying upwards of 100 Ether (ETH), equal to around $400,000 at that time. In the same year, the company secured a significant investment of $450 million, upgrading its valuation to $4 billion.
Furthermore, just before Solano’s statement, Won Kim took to X to make a special announcement.
