Highspot laid off 25% of its workforce across two 2023 rounds: ~100 employees (10%) in February and ~140 employees (15%) in June. CEO Robert Wahbe said cuts were needed to "accelerate the company's path to profitability." The Seattle-based sales enablement company had raised $250M at a $3.5B valuation. In August 2026, Highspot merged with Seismic, with post-merger layoffs reported in September 2026 due to role overlap.
