Peloton to lay off 400 employees as CEO Barry McCarthy departs
Peloton, the exercise equipment maker and online fitness course provider, said it is laying off 15% of its workforce (about 400 people) as part of cost-cutting measures. The company also said its CEO, president, and board director, Barry McCarthy, would step down after two years in the role. McCarthy, who was previously CFO at Spotify and Netflix, was coerced out of retirement in early 2022 when Peloton's co-founder and then-CEO, John Foley, left the role alongside a major cost-cutting effort that saw 2,800 employees laid off.

Haun Ventures is riding the bitcoin high
Blockchain startups were red-hot when Katie Haun left Andreessen Horowitz in 2021 to launch her own crypto-focused venture firm. Despite having a massive arsenal of dry powder, Haun Ventures didn't rush to scoop up stakes in crypto and web3 on the cheap, and many observers wondered when the firm would pick up its deployment pace. While Haun Ventures says it wasn't exactly sitting on its hands (and capital) through crypto's downturn, the firm was perhaps more cautious than it initially intended.
