Assessment

On May 5, 2025, Forrest Zeisler (then-co-founder and CTO of Jobber) stated on The Product Market Fit Show that Jobber was used by 'about 290,000' service professionals, clearly framing the figure as an approximation. Official Jobber disclosures around that time corroborate this range: Jobber's May 29, 2025 press release reported platform use by 'more than 250,000 home service professionals', which was subsequently updated in September 2025 reports to 'more than 300,000'. Zeisler's estimate of approximately 290,000 aligns directly with Jobber's reported milestone trajectory between May and September 2025.

Jobber's PR Newswire press release on May 29, 2025 officially reported platform data from 'more than 250,000 home service professionals'.
Jobber's official reports updated the milestone from 'more than 250,000' in May 2025 to 'more than 300,000' in September 2025 (2025 Blue Collar Report).
The stated approximation of ~290,000 on May 5, 2025 falls directly within the verified progression between Jobber's official >250k (May 2025) and >300k (September 2025) disclosures.
