The company had 22 employees as of earlier
this year, and it has been in the process
of laying off all but what is expected to
be around 3 of its staff.
Normally, when I hear the words "layoff" and "restructure", I think 15% of the company, not 'basically everyone.' That's a bummer, and I expect this won't be the last time we hear this story this year.
I hope the frontend engineers making $75,000-$125,000[1] for a shot at one day accumulating up to 1% of Gumroad decide to pursue market wages at the next company they join :-\ The economics of startups rarely offer a worthwhile return to those who choose to play the game. For what it's worth, this is something I've found out the hard way.
