The story of OLX begins in the valleys of El Calafate, Argentina, far from the suburbs of Silicon Valley.That's where two young Internet pioneers Fabrice Grinda and Alec Oxenford connected, roamed and dreamed.

They both loved IT, classifieds and saw the potential of mobile technology, but they wanted to create something significant enough to make a positive difference in millions of people's lives.

Their idea? OLX.
