About This Event
Be Part of the Beginning
Jobbyist is a next-generation job platform built specifically for South Africa — designed to close the gap between talented professionals and the remote opportunities that can genuinely transform their careers and lives.
Before we open our doors to the public on 13 July 2026, we're inviting a select group of early believers to join us for a focused 30-minute Zoom fundraiser. As a Founding Member, your $25 ticket goes directly toward building Jobbyist v1 — and earns you permanent recognition inside the platform, plus priority access on launch day.
This isn't just a fundraiser. It's a seat at the table right at the start of something meaningful for South African careers.
