Comment on San Francisco start-up Seesmic laid off 18 employees this week

Comments

I'm all for failing quickly and pivoting into something better, but how does Loic Le Meur expect to attract future employees with such a track record?

With promises of mounds of equity and hoards of cash?

Startups are inherently risky. Loic made a very difficult decision (layoffs are hard). I am sure when he first hired those people it was in good faith. No one wants to fail.
