The Challenge

Many students and newcomers in the Netherlands struggle to earn flexible income despite having valuable skills. Without formal qualifications, professional experience, or local connections, finding opportunities can be difficult. At the same time, people looking for affordable tutoring, coaching, creative lessons, or practical help often rely on scattered social media groups, personal referrals, or platforms designed for established professionals. The unmet need is an accessible, trustworthy local marketplace where people can easily find affordable help or earn money from their existing abilities, while also building connections within their community.

The solution

Joint is a community-driven marketplace that connects people looking for affordable local services with individuals willing to share their skills and earn flexible income. Our platform combines two features: a Service Marketplace, where users can offer services such as tutoring, sports coaching, or creative lessons, and Job Offers, where people can request help with any tasks. Users can discover nearby opportunities, compare profiles, prices, and reviews, and communicate directly without platform commissions or formal qualification requirements. By lowering barriers to earning and accessing services, Joint also helps students and newcomers build meaningful local connections.

Mission

Our mission is to make local opportunities accessible to everyone by helping people earn from their skills, find affordable help, and build meaningful community connections.
