Topspin Cuts Staff 44%

Topspin has now confirmed that cut 14 employees, or about 44% of staff.  While the company declined further comment, the move is being described by some as redirecting the company back to it’s original mission. “They’re focusing on their platform, their technology and their data,” former Topspin executive Gary Brotman told Billboard. “That was the idea from the beginning, and going back to that makes sense because it’s Topspin’s strong suit.”
