MONTREAL — In the wake of widespread job losses in the technology sector, Montreal-based Momentum Ventures, a company dedicated to creating and growing start-ups, is announcing an active search for seasoned industry leaders to join their growing companies. In a time of industry-wide challenges, they are looking to turn adversity into opportunity.
Statistics show that tech firms have accelerated layoffs in 2023, the total of which now surpasses the cumulative job losses from all tech companies in the prior year. Job cuts have not only affected major tech companies including Amazon, Meta, Shopify, and Microsoft, but smaller tech firms as well.
