Kyte’s Major Cutbacks: A Rental Car Startup’s Fight for Survival

  • In a bold move, rental car startup Kyte is slashing its workforce and narrowing its focus to just two markets—San Francisco and New York City. This episode explores the challenges facing Kyte as it grapples with profitability and the broader implications for the rental car industry. We also discuss the Tampa Bay Wave's impressive milestone of over $1 billion in investments for its startups, the turbulent journey of flying taxi startup Lilium as it faces bankruptcy, and the launch of Reservoir Farms, a new incubator aimed at fostering agrobotics innovation in agriculture.
