How it happened
Mark43 builds cloud software for law-enforcement and public-safety agencies — computer-aided dispatch, records management and analytics used by scores of police departments. Backed by General Catalyst, Spark Capital, Bezos Expeditions and Tiger Global, it reached a $1B valuation on a $101M Series E in July 2021, but its 2024 Series F was priced lower and the Prime Unicorn Index dropped it below the $1B threshold in Q3 2024. Glassdoor reviews trace the reset from inside: deep 2022 layoffs that insiders blamed on hiring too fast, a leadership shake-up that brought in a new CEO, then years of near-constant reorgs with raises postponed and benefits trimmed as the company steadied itself.
