With Jolly, being a freelancer or gig worker doesn’t mean building a career alone: Jolly helps you grow your network & reputation so you can find more opportunities. Jolly’s also a middleman-free marketplace to hire/get hired: we never take a cut, from anyone.
As someone who studied the sharing and gig economies in grad school, who has run a marketplace and another sharing economy business, and who has been both a gig worker and a user of gig services over the years, I believe Shelby and Zach are doing something desperately needed: bringing not just trust and accountability but also transparency and equality to this space. Companies like DoorDash screw everyone but their shareholders, and I am glad that startups like Jolly are going for something much more ethical and sustainable. Jolly was in my Techstars cohort and I consider myself privileged to have been in the founders presence for a few brilliant months.
@dbdriscoll Thanks, Dan, for sharing these thoughts. Really appreciate your depth of experience in the space, and of course it was a pleasure to go through Techstars with you. Thank you!

Love it, this is badly needed for independent workers and look forward to seeing it grow to its full potential and spread beyond the US.

Love the great design and its such an awesome idea. However, i still have not found any job posting since i signed up
@thecharleskerr Hi Charles. We aren’t currently working to promote Jolly in the UK, there may not be very many other people nearby, so the networking tools won’t yet be as valuable as they will be later. That said, there aren’t any restrictions, so freelancers in the UK can definitely create a Jolly profile, which is useful on its own!
