   Fiverr cut ~250 employees, about 30% of its workforce, to rebuild as an 'AI-first company' with a smaller, flatter organization - months after CEO Kaufman told staff to upskill in AI or perish.

   CEO Micha Kaufman: 'We need to go back to a startup mode, with speed and agility, a flatter organizational structure, and an AI-focused infrastructure and methodology' - as Fiverr becomes 'an AI-first company.'
