About Matt

While still a student, he experimented with tech ideas and even raised venture capital at the age of 17. Now studying accounting, Matt balances academics with his full-time role as founder of Jobzy. His early experience launching a student newspaper taught him valuable business lessons, fueling his commitment to building Jobzy into a leading platform that supports Africa’s fast-growing, remote-first workforce.
