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.
Love the copy on the new website and I can’t wait to see Jolly in action not just in the US but around the world as well.
I’m curious to understand more about the industries you have in your pipeline and how you’re thinking about what sorts of freelancers can benefit the most from Jolly. Thanks and all the best!
@nikhiljoisr thanks for the questions!
Our 40,000+ users are mostly “front line” workers who do work out in the physical world, like drivers, servers, bartenders, cleaners, etc. But, increasingly, we’re seeing remote workers sign up too, like graphic designers, writers and programmers.
WRT industries: Businesses use Jolly in a similar manner to how they use UpWork, but without the big fees. Jolly is great for food-related businesses (warehousing, restaurants, grocery, delivery, etc.), SMBs like cleaning crews or security, and definitely Events as economies open back up.
👋 Hi! I'm Shelby, co-founder and CEO of Jolly. We've been working hard on Jolly and we're so excited to share it with all of you.
Jolly is a professional community—for freelancers, gig workers and independent workers of all types—with tools to:
• Establish, build and own your reputation as an independent worker
• Grow your professional network of connections to people and businesses
• Work together freely without anyone taking a cut
• Get support, ask questions and share information in a community of independent workers helping each other
We've had over 40,000 independent workers and over 500 businesses join Jolly so far!
🚀 Why does the world need Jolly?
In some profound ways, the gig economy is failing independent workers. We need an entirely new set of rules which are more humane and equitable, and we call this new set of rules the Trust Economy.
Jolly is the platform that enables the Trust Economy to exist. In the Trust Economy,
• People—not platforms—own their reputation data and their network of contacts
• We can work together freely without middlemen
• The highest relationship is the service relationship between worker and client, not between middleman and client
💬❤️ Feedback
Please let me know if you have any questions, feedback or find things we should fix. We're constantly improving Jolly and your input can have a big impact.

The need of the hour! Gig economy moving towards a Trust economy is inevitable. Great to see a product/marketplace addressing this.
Is your primary focus on non-tech markets or are you focusing on tech market too?
@bargava1008 We’re focused on non-tech workers. Some of the more common skills in our community are:
• Food and beverage (e.g. server, bartender, cook, catering staff)
• Logistics (e.g. warehouse, stocker, driver)
• Event & Production (e.g. setup, security, cleaning, a/v crew)
• Field Marketing (e.g. brand ambassador)
You can search our entire community by skill+location using the search box on our home page, www.JollyHQ.com.
All of that said, it’s been exciting to see more tech-related freelancers sign up (designers, writers, programmers) and I think that speaks to the widespread need for a worker-first community.
