Often the VC’s, if they have control of the company, will bring in “gray hair” managers to try to turn things around. The kids formerly running the show may or may not stick around. The first thing the gray hairs do is cut back to a skeleton staff, cut the snacks, and even coffee. They’ll try to sublet the surplus office space.
