Jibber Jabber operates as a social productivity and lifestyle calendar platform primarily targeting students and academic institutions. The company was co-founded by Monty Adams, who, after enrolling in a Business Policy and Strategy course taught by Dr. Patrick McClelland in 2013, brought his entrepreneurial drive to the venture. Dr. McClelland has since served as an advisor from the company's conception.
The development of Jibber Jabber began at a government incubator, where the founders spent nine months raising initial capital and awareness for the project. The startup, based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, has also sought to raise $300,000 through an Indiegogo campaign to further its development and market expansion into North American and European universities. The core of Jibber Jabber's offering is a two-sided time management platform, consisting of a calendar app and a web application.
The platform is designed to assist students in managing their academic and personal lives by automatically extracting schedule information from uploaded documents like a syllabus. This addresses the challenge students face in organizing their various commitments. The business model appears to be subscription-based, as Indiegogo backers were offered a 1-year subscription to the paid version of the app. Beyond schedule management, the application incorporates social functionality and productivity task features, aiming to create an integrated student community. A portion of the company's funding is also dedicated to establishing an education scholarship and grant program to support students who effectively use the platform to manage their time.
