Our take
Working as a freelancer has its positives, but it also comes without the security of employment benefits and the peace of mind they bring. Jump wants to change this, with an all-in-one platform designed to help freelancers access and manage benefits as well as run their work lives more effectively.
Benefits available through Jump include a savings plan, restaurant vouchers, insurance and CSE benefits. On top of this, it supplies a job board for finding freelance work more easily, on top of billing and expensing tools.
Making independent work better for all is certainly a worthwhile pursuit and one that is sure to grant Jump lots of attention. The company has raised significant funding that will be used to expand operations and its development efforts.
