About us.
Founded by two best friends, Ella Dumbrell and Steph Allen, Kolide was started over 8 years ago as a mere pipe dream – a mobile app aimed to curate the very best of Sydney (in the realms of eat, play party) to be shared as a social app. Over the years, the Kolide concept has altered and changed and today brings you considered, local and travel advice that we enjoy and love. Essentially, all our favourites in one place.
Ella has a background in marketing and PR and Steph in law and we quit our respective full time jobs post university to start Kolide full time (with multiple jobs on the side to make ends meet). 5 years later and we haven’t looked back. What resulted was also starting another business The Ardent Co, where we run a boutique social media, content and branding agency. The two fuse together to combine our shared passions to create beautiful, engaging content and recommendations.
