Altada lays off US staff and furloughs Irish workers as it seeks bridging finance to “stabilise” firm

Altada lays off US staff and furloughs Irish workers as it seeks bridging finance to “stabilise” firm

Cork-based AI startup Altada says it has laid off US staff and furloughed Irish employees as it seeks bridging finance to “stabilise” the firm.

The company, co-founded by husband and wife entrepreneurs Allan Beechinor and Niamh Parker, says that “market conditions” now mean a delay in a planned Series A funding round, which the founders had hoped would raise between €50m and €100m.

Last year, it raised €11.5m from venture capital firms Elkstone and Rocktop Partners, with Enterprise Ireland also contributing.
