The company, which recently laid off hundreds of employees after a failed post-pandemic pivot, was notified of the flaw by TechCrunch after its security researcher found the vulnerability and received no initial response from Workrise.TechCrunchAustin unicorn Workrise laid off a number of employeesWorkrise, a startup based in Austin formerly known as RigUp, has laid off an unspecified number of employees as part of a restructuring plan to exit certain verticals and focus on energy industries such as oil & gas and renewables.

Lewis, who built his investing career at Founders Fund and serves on boards of companies including Lyft, Nubank, and Canva, says he became disillusioned with Silicon Valley's tendency to focus on abstractions rather than real-world problems, citing his experience backing Workrise (now valued at nearly $3 billion) as a model for the more practically-minded companies he seeks to invest in. The move reflects a broader trend of venture capitalists and tech workers departing the Bay Area for Austin, which has also attracted firms like Breyer Capital and 8VC.ForbesAustin Startup Workrise, Formerly RigUp, Hits $2.9 Billion Valuation After $300 Million RaiseWorkrise, formerly known as RigUp, announced a $300 million Series E funding round that brings its total capital to $752 million and establishes a post-money valuation of $2.9 billion.
