Instacart is reportedly slashing its valuation by almost 40% to about $24 billion.
It's a move to help the company attract talent and adapt to market conditions, the company tells Bloomberg. The food-delivery company had been valued at $39 billion in its most recent fundraising round.
Last year it received $265 million from investors such as Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital and D1 Capital Partners, as well as Fidelity Management & Research Co. and T. Rowe Price Associates Inc.

"Markets go up and down, but we are focused on Instacart’s long-term opportunity to power the future of grocery with our partners.
