- Leading on-demand marketplace and management platform company Jobble recently unveiled that it raised $11 million in Series A funding
Jobble — a leading on-demand marketplace and management platform founded by Zack Smith and Corey Bober — connects companies to the 60 million US gig economy workers in the U.S. who are seeking jobs with companies offering flexible work opportunities. And Jobble is dedicated to becoming the all-in-one solution for job seekers.
Jobble recently announced it raised $11 million in Series A funding led by Vestigo Ventures and AXA Venture Partners with participation from Guardian Strategic Ventures and Harlem Capital Partners. With this round of funding, Jobble will extend its company offerings and further build out its workforce community. Now Jobble has the resources to implement new technologies and features based on user feedback.
“We are committed to continuing to build a reliable, trustworthy, and supportive platform that provides opportunities and resources to all of our Jobblers. With the new round of funding, the Jobble team is excited to advance our marketplace by focusing on technology and community support. We strive to empower all individuals who rely on the gig economy, by providing solutions that protect and enhance your daily lives and future growth,” said Jobble CEO and co-founder Zack Smith.
The proceeds from this funding round will be used for expanding Jobble’s development team to enhance the platform’s user experience. And the company will be building out its sales and marketing efforts in order to significantly expand its national footprint with the potential to expand internationally.
“Worksite management is a core area of investment for Vestigo, especially as more Americans forego traditional careers in favor of gigs,” added Michael Nugent — the Managing Director at Vestigo Ventures. “Not only were we extremely impressed by Zack and Corey’s vision, once we saw evidence of Jobble’s incredible growth, we knew this would be a cornerstone investment for our efforts in worksite management.”
Smith also noted that Jobble’s partnership with Vestigo and AXA Venture Partners provides them with valuable data and the domain expertise of the fintech and insurance space to more rapidly and effectively execute our vision.
“Jobble has built a market-leading platform that enables companies to quickly and cost-effectively recruit gig economy workers,” explained Alex Scherbakovsky — a General Partner at AXA Venture Partners. “We are excited to partner with Zack and his team to scale Jobble globally and extend the company’s offerings for gig economy workers to include financial products such as insurance.”
