IRVINE, CA — (Marketwired) — 05/05/15 — One of the most anticipated conferences of the year, TechCrunch Disrupt, has accepted Voloe () to participate in the conference–s Startup Alley in the Social, Media & Entertainment category. Voloe, a social networking site designed to help users share and accomplish goals, wishes and dreams, will be vying for a spot in the Startup Battlefield, starting May 5th, where the company will compete with just 30 other companies, chosen from hundreds of applicants, for a $50,000 prize.
Much like when Uber and Airbnb came on the scene to offer different business alternatives, Voloe was created to disrupt the typical social sharing scene by creating a platform that allows users to help one another accomplish goals and assist one another with dreams, leading to higher levels of user engagement. Voloe is a place where people can leverage the vast outreach of the network to accomplish their list of dreams and ambitions that are shared with other users. Voloe so believed in their platform, that at launch they pledged $1 million dollars of prizes and assistance to help users achieve their goals.
This and testimonial of Sarah Hilecher, college student and Voloe prize winner emphasizes the power of Voloe. The video captures the moment she achieves her goal of rock jumping in Santorini, Greece and she explains how Voloe helped accomplish a dream she never thought possible. She also vows to help others reach their goals, which is what the creators of Voloe intended.
Andy Firoved, founder of Voloe, hopes this type of user response is just what the company needs to compete at the TechCrunch conference.
“When you look at the type of companies that participate in the Disrupt conference, they are ground breaking companies,” said Firoved. “By participating in this conference, we hope to talk with other entrepreneurs who are looking to make a footprint in the tech space by making the world a more connected place. We are excited about the opportunity to compete and anticipate meeting some really great people in this next step of our journey.”

Voloe is an online network designed to help you make a list to then share with friends and family. Making others aware of your goals, wishes, and dreams will give them meaningful knowledge into who you are and how they can support you. Voloe–s theory is that social media could be used for this greater purpose. We believe so strongly in our theory that we commit to award nearly $1 million in estimated value to Voloe users to help prove it. For more information please visit:
