Shobizzy, a networking app for the TV industry, aims to open new doors for freelancers | TechCrunch
Briefly

"Freelancers live a very non-traditional career path, in terms of the fact that we never have a permanent employer, and it ends up being that your network is the most valuable piece to your career because of the fact that it's such a who you know business," co-founder Doug Weitzbuch told TechCrunch.
"The television industry has been in the downturn this past year, and a lot of people are struggling to find work," co-founder Kevin Eberly said, who previously founded PayYourRent.
Shobizzy is the latest professional networking app for the entertainment industry that aims to address this challenge. And, as more workers could be at risk of being out of a job, Shobizzy recently expanded its offering to allow users to pursue opportunities in additional areas like live events and content creation.
It's a smart move to allow freelancers to broaden their horizons beyond TV and film, as there has been a lot of interest in the creator economy, which is estimated to be a $250 billion business.
