Despite layoffs, Ambrosia says it’s still in business

Ambrosia Sofware—the maker of Snapz Pro X, Soundboard, and other popular utilities and games on Apple platforms—on Thursday fended off suggestions it was going out of business, even as employees of the company reported being laid off.

“To paraphrase Mr Clemens, the rumors of our demise have been greatly exaggerated,” the company said Thursday morning, via Twitter.“We are still in business, and supporting our products!”

Even if the company is still technically afloat, the head count has clearly been reduced. At least five of the company’s 10 stated employees—not including president Andrew Welch—posted on Twitter that they were now unemployed, including developer Jon Gary, developer Jeremy Knope, developer Rudy Richter, product support person Evan Smith, and sales and reception person Kat Brady. Two other employees, artist Marcus Conge and lead developer Dominic Feira, had updated their LinkedIn profiles to refer to Ambrosia as a “previous” employer. Still unknown as of this writing is the fate of the company’s other three employees: finance manager Bernard Cockhern, the company’s public relations specialist John Champlin, and quality assurance specialist David Dunham.
