Another one bites the dust 
sad news…
do you have an official announcement, for some details?
I don’t see anything on their website, nor other social media channels.
anyway, I could find a reference to an email on reddit from 2 months ago but that was about it.
reddit post
Im surprised, they seem to have had quite a lot of funding / backing, and were in a more ‘mass market’, and didn’t seem to be overly ambitious.
anyway, hopefully users are backing up the software downloads in case they need them for the future e.g. new machines etc.
as precaution, Ive got some links to their software downloads which are hosted on dropbox.
I post links rather than embed, so people can see easily where they are being taken.

hopefully they have put this on a free dropbox account, which’ll stay around without paying the bills.
wayback machine note:
I did try to get archive.org to archive Downloads — Artiphon but didnt seem to traverse the dropbox links.
edit: ah, yes, archive.org does indeed exclude dropbox link traversal

…yep, can’t see an official announcement, but various sources reported it. Eg LinkedIn.
Here is a mail I got from them -
