Job description

Company Description

We are pausing travoom to focus on oleolesport.com. OleOle is developing a completely free social network and messaging app for football (Soccer), a sports-first super app.

oleolesport.com

oleolesport.com is the curated marketplace for football fan travel experiences. This site will run in parallel to the OleOle social network.

What We Do...

oleolesport.com empowers people to identify football experiences without any search requirements, simply presenting the traveler with vetted components necessary to bring the trip to life -- tickets, lodging, flights, and beyond. We are building a football super app.

Why it matters...

Searching and successfully planning a trip around an iconic football experience is time-consuming, frustrating, overwhelming, and often elusive. Football is complicated, with players playing for club and country simultaneously. Fans need a place to "Kick Off".

Why we are better...

oleolesport.com’s searchless travel approach means a soccer/football experience can be discovered, planned, and purchased in minutes, avoiding endless search-driven inefficiency. There are other sports social networks, but they lack understanding of network platforms.
