The company was founded in 2017 by CEO Omri Dekalo and CTO Yuval Weinbaum. It employs 25 people and is currently hiring more staff.
Ubeya's platform connects employers looking for temporary or shift workers with young people who want to work without committing to a single employer. For example, the workforce systems of European sports stadiums, including Wembley and football clubs including Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, Ajax, and others, are managed on Ubeya’s platform. Over the past year, Ubeya managed the workforce systems for the UEFA Champions League final, the Wimbledon tennis tournament, and concerts including the Foo Fighters and Taylor Swift during her Eras tour.
