About us

Jodel was launched in 2014. The idea of Jodel started, when we realised that despite countless products in tech, there was no fast and simple way to connect with people around us.
You will be able to fully explore the city you live in, listen in on all its vibrant communities and connect with your peers. No matter if it’s other pet lovers nearby or the local techno crowd: Jodel allows you to share memes and jokes, get news, ask questions and simply have fun. You can discuss everything from new hypes to modern-dating, organize help for social causes. And by doing all that you might even get to know new amazing people in your area.

Jodel will be closing the gap to easily share a togetherness with all the people you see in the physical world. As this works in your hometown, so it does when moving somewhere else. Whenever you’re travelling, you can be certain there are people around you that wonder about the same things. Is it still worth it to go to the Full Moon party here in Ko Pha-ngan or what are the best tricks for negotiations on the Marrakech market? And maybe, one day, you think about moving to New York so you teleport to its local feed and explore.

Come as you are!
At Jodel everyone is welcome, regardless of gender identity, nationality, age, disability status, sexual orientation or religion. Jodel is an equal opportunity employer and believes that a great working environment reflects a diversity of backgrounds, experience, talent and thoughts. We will not tolerate discrimination or harassment based on any of these characteristics. All you need is a passion for local communities and a desire to be part of a fast growing startup.
