The Problem We Saw
Every neighborhood has the same challenge: Neighbors need help with everyday tasks, and teens need opportunities to earn and learn.
But there's a disconnect. Finding reliable help is hard. Giving teens safe, supervised work opportunities is even harder. Cash exchanges are awkward. Trust takes time to build. And there's no easy way to connect the people who live right next door.
Our Solution
Ollie bridges that gap. We created a platform where:
- 1Neighbors find trustworthy local teens for lawn care, pet sitting, and other tasks
- 2Teens earn money, build work experience, and develop responsibility—all close to home
- 3Parents maintain full oversight with built-in safety features and controls
It's the neighborhood connection that should have always existed, now made safe, simple, and reliable.
What We Believe
Teens deserve real opportunities
Not just screen time and allowances, but chances to earn their own money, learn the value of work, and build confidence through real-world responsibility.
Communities are stronger when connected
The best help often lives right next door. When neighbors support local teens, everyone wins.
Safety enables opportunity
With the right safeguards—parental controls, background checks, secure payments—we can create opportunities that feel safe for everyone involved.
Work shapes character
A teen's first job isn't just about the money. It's about showing up, doing quality work, building reputation, and learning what it means to be dependable.
Our Commitment
We're building Ollie with three core commitments:
Safety First, Always
Every feature we build prioritizes the safety of teens and neighbors. Background checks, parental oversight, GPS tracking, and secure payments aren't add-ons—they're foundational.
Fair & Transparent
Teens keep the majority of what they earn. Neighbors know exactly what they're paying. No hidden fees, no surprises, no fine print.
Community-Centered
We're not a faceless gig platform. Ollie is about real people in real neighborhoods building real relationships. We're here to strengthen your community, not replace it.
