The Crunchbase Tech Layoffs Tracker
Over 127,000 workers at U.S.-based tech companies were laid off in mass job cuts in 2025, per a Crunchbase News tally, and the layoffs have continued into 2026. See the latest companies to cut roles.
The Crunchbase Tech Layoffs Tracker is a comprehensive resource that tracks layoffs conducted by U.S.-based companies and those with a significant presence in the United States. This includes both startups and publicly traded tech-heavy organizations. Companies with a substantial team in the U.S., such as Klarna, are also included, even if the extent of the U.S. workforce affected by layoffs is not fully known.
The figures reported are best estimates, derived from media reports, the tracker's own reporting, social media posts, and the layoffs.fyi database. Recently, the tracker was updated to reflect the most recent round of layoffs each company has undergone, allowing for more accurate tracking of layoff trends. However, if an employee headcount cannot be confirmed to the tracker's standards, it is noted as "unclear."
