If I remember correctly, I thought they said we would hear by July 17,2026 but I don't know for sure. For some reason that date is sticking out to me....best of luck to all, fingers crossed
While we are disappointed not to have been selected, but honestly, this process forced me to look at the bigger picture.
As a growing home-service business, I’ve used Jobber firsthand, and there are several areas where the platform falls short for real operators in the field. Instead of continuing to complain about those limitations, I’ve decided to use that frustration as motivation.
My long-term goal is to build software created by service-business owners, for service-business owners—software that is more intuitive, more flexible, and actually reflects what happens day to day in the field.
So while we didn’t receive the grant, we may have received something more valuable: clarity.
Congratulations to the businesses selected. As for us, we’ll keep building—with or without anyone’s approval.
A grant can fund a vision, but it can’t create one. The drive to solve real problems is what builds lasting businesses. Keep building — the people who refuse to quit are usually the ones who change the game. 💪
