Checkout startup Fast raised $102 million, then shut down after three years

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 a rival to Shopify's Shop Pay, has closed after burning through roughly $102 million in funding. The company raised a $20 million Series B in 2021, but failed to build a sustainable business, and its swift collapse is drawing discussion about how quickly well-funded startups can fail.

Why now: The sudden collapse of a heavily funded startup despite a large war chest is striking to tech observers.
