About Us

Olive was founded by Dominic Andre, a Palestinian-Lebanese content creator with over 20 million followers. Growing up in a household filled with activism and cultural pride, Dominic's grandparents instilled in him the belief that fighting for one’s existence is essential for survival. However, facing the prejudice that often came with being Arab, he distanced himself from his roots, only to later realize the deep loss of connection to his language, traditions, and community.

Driven by a desire to reconnect with his heritage and help others do the same, Dominic created Olive—not just as a dating app, but as a space for people from Middle Eastern, North African, Persian, Armenian, Afghan, and Mediterranean communities to find love, build connections, and preserve the culture that makes us who we are. Olive is more than an app—it’s a bridge to the connections we may have lost, and a celebration of the vibrant, diverse communities we call home.
