Chinese EDA software startup X-Epic Ltd. (Nanjing, China) is cutting up to half its staff according to the South China Morning Post, quoting unnamed sources.
The exact reason for the lay-offs was not given but the SCMP said that Chinese EDA firms saw their business slow in 1Q24 amid broader market headwinds. It is possible that privately held X-Epic is not yet profitable and needs to trim its burn rate.
