Fast, the maker of a one-click online checkout button which raised $168 million since Sydney-born Domm Holland founded it in 2019, is closing its doors on Friday.
Despite high-profile strategic investors such as Irish payments giant Stripe, Pop Sugar supremo Brian Sugar and SafetyCulture backer Index Ventures, Fast was reported to have made only $US600,000 revenue in 2021, despite burning through $US10 million a month as it added 400 people to its headcount.
