After the restructuring, the Automata team will comprise just 45 staff, compared to 235 in late 2022.on Discord, Michael Wagner, CEO and co-founder of ATMTA, said the restructured team will instead shift its focus to"delivering SAGE and the newly announced Crew Mobile App.

And as many of you already know, we lost approximately $15 million from our treasury with the collapse of FTX, which represented a significant portion of our liquid cash balance."
Developers said that the team managed to recover a"sizable portion" of the FTX funds in January, but runway remains"greatly reduced." Wagner also stated that it was"unlikely" for the project to close an equity and debt financing deal signed in January.
