| Hi, Agen. Will the layoffs ever end? Maybe — but it looks like the time isn’t just yet. After tailing off a bit in December, U.S. tech job cuts picked up again in January, our data shows. February also brought a high number of mass layoffs, with both large-cap companies and startups trimming staff. Plus, funding to Black founders fell dramatically in these regions, and why these investors remain bullish on Latin America. In recent weeks, we’ve seen a succession of prominent tech companies and startups make deep cuts. In fact, well over 17,000 U.S. tech workers lost their jobs in January, and cuts continued into February.

Latin America was the fastest-growing venture capital market in the boom of 2021, but has since seen investment decline drastically. Investors Gina Gotthilf and Tomas Roggio share six reasons why they remain optimistic — and keep backing LatAm companies — despite the region’s two-year startup winter.

How do we get back to a more disciplined approach? |
