Jobble (Brighton)
- Amount: $5,000 of a $1 million fundraise
- Investors: One unidentified investor.
- Details: Jobble is an on-demand event management and staffing startup that launched out of Northeastern University's IDEA Venture Accelerator earlier this year. The startup runs an online marketplace that automates the process of staffing events, which the startup has said is particularly useful for early-stage companies with limited resources to run their own events. The startup was founded by Matthew Osofisan, founder of metropolitan casual wear brand Annie Mulz and a former DigitasLBi analyst; Corey Bober, a Northeastern grad; and Zack Smith, a Suffolk grad. The Form D filing indicates the startup is looking to raise a total of $1 million for this fundraising round. A separate Form D filing from March indicates the startup has previously raised $35,000.
