Freelance economy is booming and nature of work is being redefined. However, stability is the real and major challenge. Freelancers enjoy the autonomy and flexibility of their work, but often miss out consistent income and security. Forward-thinking French startup named Jump has stepped in with a solution and believed to reshape the future of freelancing.
Jump is addressing the issue of fluctuating income for freelancers and with simple approach. It is offering full-time contracts to freelancers with the kind of benefits one would expect from traditional employment. It has lately raised $12 million from a funding round led by Breega Ventures.
Jump has the ability to merge the best of both worlds. Freelancers can maintain their independence while enjoying the security of monthly salaries, health insurance and pension contributions. It offers a safety net by registering freelancers with the national healthcare and pension systems of France. Health insurance, meal vouchers and savings plans further sweeten the deal. However, there are some corporate fees and a monthly cost.
More than 2,000 freelancers have already signed up. Jump is proving that there is a strong appetite for this kind of stability in the freelance world. Its reach is only set to grow and it has plans to launch services in the UK soon.
The vision of Jump is not just for seasoned freelancers. Its free introductory plan is a nod to those who are just starting out. It offers tools to secure clients and track finances.
The innovative approach of Jump could well be the blueprint for the future. It is giving freelancers what they have long craved and it is autonomy without the anxiety.
