History

‍Dibbs was founded in 2021 by and for students to provide a sustainable alternative for the War for Talent. A capital round of €150,000 accelerated the growth of the Antwerp-based company, and they plan to launch Dibbs in the Netherlands in the summer of 2024. The 6-person team led by Pieter Seyssens focuses on improving and better understanding the current student ecosystem.

Activity

In 2023, the War for Talent is the new normal. What sets Dibbs apart in this regard? The Dibbs app increases user retention by focusing on four different types of content: discounts, jobs, events, and personal growth. Users find an extensive list of up-to-date offers and can also share their own content. Dibbs targets students from the age of sixteen, allowing users to use the app throughout their entire student life until they graduate and enter the job market. During this time, a student is supported in enriching their profile to prepare for the job market. Dibbs also attracted the attention of Dutch investors, enabling an expansion to the Netherlands in the summer of 2024.

Growth plans

Dibbs is actively launching communication campaigns to achieve a growth of 2,500 students per week. By next summer, Dibbs aims to have a community of over 150,000 students in Belgium. To achieve this goal, additional staff will be hired, and budgets will be used for the necessary communication campaigns. At the same time, Dibbs aims to strengthen the synergy between companies, government institutions, and students within an ecosystem. This funding campaign will provide the necessary support to achieve these objectives.
