,
I have some difficult and important news to share today.
In response to the ongoing market conditions and the need to align our expenses more closely with current revenues, we’ve made the tough decision to restructure parts of the team. These steps are essential to extend our runway and keep pushing forward on the long-term vision of Star Atlas; something we’ve done in prior cycles to reach where we are now.
This round hits the community especially hard. With a heavy heart, I’m announcing that we’ve had to eliminate several key front-facing roles, including those held by and . These departures follow ‘s recent decision to start his own venture (completely unrelated to this restructuring).
Dominic, Jose, and Santi have been among our most passionate voices, representing Star Atlas publicly every day with energy and dedication. Their contributions over the years have been immense, and words can’t fully express my gratitude for their tireless efforts. These were not easy decisions; if the opportunity arises, I’d welcome them back in a heartbeat.
On a brighter note:
- Jose remains fully committed to our weekly community events, including Atlas Brew and Lorekeepers. (Also, keep an eye out for his upcoming PIP which he will be posting shortly).
- We’re also preparing a couple of new economics-focused events to roll out soon.
- We have a number of team members who will continue contributing to the project for a time in an unpaid capacity.
The team is now leaner, but intensely focused. We’re pouring everything into delivering considerable updates for Holosim, C4, and z.ink in the coming weeks. A tremendous amount of work has already gone into these and I’m genuinely excited about their potential to reignite growth and bring more energy to the ecosystem.
This journey has never been easy, and we never expected it to be. We’re incredibly fortunate to still have some of the brightest talent in the industry driving Star Atlas forward.
So today we say farewell (for now) to friends, colleagues, and true dreamers. But the mission continues. There’s significant potential for momentum building, and a lot to look forward to very soon.
Thank you for your continued support and belief in what we’re building together.
-Michael
