Who We Are
REEF is an ecosystem of digital and physical solutions that connect goods, services and experiences to consumers around the world.

REEF is seeking applicants to become Owner-Operators (we proudly call them “Ulysses”) to operate these locations.

We offer the tools, platforms, and support to help you turn your dream into financial freedom. This is an opportunity to run and grow your own business – without the heavy financial investment typically required to start from scratch.
