Software-as-a-service startup Dooly is another victim of the market downturn.
The Vancouver-based SaaS firm, which uses AI to help salespeople, let go of a dozen of their 100-strong team.
Kris Hartvigsen, who founded Dooly in 2014, expressed his sentiment surrounding the decision in a post on LinkedIn.
“We might be a SaaS company where most of our work is delivered to your screen, but it’s the people who chose to work here that manufactured our success and who helped make salespeople around the world successful,” he stated. “I have a sense of great sadness, admiration of, and appreciation for the 12 great humans at Dooly that we parted company with today.”
Earlier this year, Dooly was named to G2’s 2022 Best Software Awards, placing #6 on the Fastest Growing Products list. This was following funding and a new executive team.
Other Vancouver firms including Unbounce, Article, and Hootsuite have all been hit recently.
Despite all these layoffs, however, the state of tech work in Canada is not all gloom and doom. There are still many actively hiring firms across Canada.
