Welcome back to Equity, a podcast that delves into the world of startups, uncovering the stories behind the headlines with a focus on data and details.
This week, host Mary Ann interviews entrepreneur Roger Lee, who has dedicated years to developing tools for employees and employers. Lee is not only an angel investor but also the brains behind Layoffs.FYI, and co-founder of Comprehensive and Human Interest.
Roger previously appeared on the show following the tech layoffs in 2022, but this time we’re diving into the business of shutting down and exploring why investors are eager to support startups like Roger’s in this field.
In our conversation, we also touch on:
- The significant increase in business closures in 2023 compared to the previous year
- The rise in layoffs witnessed in the past year
- The types of companies winding down operations and laying off employees
- How Roger’s work is intertwined with these trends and the impact of AI
