Day One Ventures has launched a program aimed specifically at those impacted by tech layoffs this year. The program, titled “Funded Not Fired,” will write $100,000 checks into 20 startup teams by the end of the year.

The deadline to apply is November 25, 2022 and final decisions will be made by . . .
