Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian about the downfall of big platform

In 2022, IRL was another company that was struggling with the impact of Covid-19. Even though the company underwent a mass layoff, the founder and CEO, Abraham Shafi, said that the platform was thriving. As per him, there were 20 million active monthly users who were talking to each other and planning their daily life. Additionally, the platform was able to raise $200 million in funding.

However, after an investigation by the members of the board, the CEO found himself with a suspension. A spokesperson recently said that 95% of the users were automated and did not exist in real life. As a result of the probe, the company shut down. Further, the capital was returned to stakeholders.
