One-click checkout startup Fast raised $102M, then shut down

Original: Стартап Fast підняв 102 мільйони доларів і закрився за три роки. Fast запустили 2019 року Домм Голланд і Елісон Барр Алл

Fast, the one-click checkout startup founded in 2019 by Domm Holland and Allison Barr Allen as an alternative to Shopify's Shop Pay, has shut down after roughly three years in operation. The company raised $102 million in total, including a $20 million Series B in 2021, and its rapid collapse is drawing attention as a cautionary tale about heavily funded fintech startups.

Why now: The sudden closure of a well-funded startup despite $102 million raised has reignited debate about startup spending and sustainability.
