It’s unclear how the layoffs will affect Mode’s production capabilities or its online video activities. The company did not respond to the Wall Street Journal’s request for comment.

The layoffs are the latest in a line of personnel changes at Mode. In April 2016, the company’s co-founder Samir Arora departed his post as CEO. The same month, noted investor Marc Andreessen left his position on the Mode board.
