Earlier today, we brought you the news that Damon Inc., the startup electric motorcycle manufacturer that once promised a 200 mph, 200 miles of range, all-electric superbike called the HyperSport, was being sued by multiple parties. One was a former investor, another was the company's landlord in Canada, and one of which we're still digging into. Hint, hint, it's former CEO and founder of Damon, Jay Giraud.
But buried in its 10-K and other filings was a stat that we couldn't believe, and that was how many employees the company had. Or rather, how many employees it had left.
At the height of Damon Inc.'s growth, the startup hyped up its forthcoming manufacturing facility in British Columbia, Canada, announced all the reservations it had from would-be customers totaling some $100 million, and stated it had hundreds of employees working on the project. That all has been cleansed from the brand's archives, and made way for SEO-generated slop such as "7 YouTube Motorcycle Channels To Subscribe To In 2023," and "7 Female Motorcycle Influencers You Should Follow On Instagram."
