Mission

At Legends, we're not just about data; we're about reinventing how data shapes our lives and the experiences we have. Founded in 2021, our commitment has always been dual-fold: pushing the boundaries of technological innovation and ensuring that every decision centers around humanity.

Why Your Work Matters

The travel industry's landscape is currently dominated by incumbents like Expedia, Booking.com, Tripadvisor, etc.. with these entities accumulating vast amounts of information about travelers but offering them little in return. This dynamic has shifted majority of booking transactions to such platforms, squeezing brand margins and disconnecting them from truly understanding their customers.

Our solution? Legends’ proprietary TravelDNA™️ technology. Originally designed for a B2C audience, this patent-pending innovation converts phone metadata into a unique digital identity based on individual preferences, all under the user's control. Imagine having a Zoominfo for traveler data, but this time, sourced directly from the travelers in real-time, owned and controlled by the travelers themselves.

What you’ll do

You will shape and re-define the data ecosystem, for the hospitality and travel industry. We are driven by the mission to empower genuine connections, and our technological solutions are at the heart of this pursuit. We believe in pushing boundaries and transforming the way we experience the world, together.
