What is Ribit?

Ribit is an online platform that connects students with digital, STEM, research and business skills to innovative companies and startups that need these skills. In Australia, there are more than 1 million tertiary students that potentially have these skills. At Ribit, we’ve set out to make this early career pool more visible and accessible through an intuitive digital solution underpinned by a data algorithm.
