Like football fans around the world, former Socceroo and current Melbourne Victory goalkeeper Nathan Coe has had a busy couple of weeks following the World Cup, but he\u2019s also got another reason to be bleary eyed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

During that time he\u2019s been launching his own startup.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nathan and his brother Damien founded Dippla, a jobs website startup designed to specifically serve the hospitality industry.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The duo had planned on opening a caf\u00e9 in Brisbane, but found the recruiting process more difficult than it needed to be, and together decided to try and do something about it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Four weeks ago they launched the Dippla website, where businesses can post an ad for five days for free, $15 buys a standard ad for 30 days, and for $25 businesses can get a featured ad and a high profile listing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It also enables jobseekers to upload resumes and lets businesses access that database of resumes when they\u2019re searching for employees.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

They also \u2018qualify\u2019 the jobseekers, to ensure the resumes on the site are top quality.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

he duo is aware of the competition in the space, but say there\u2019s a real gap in the market.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s such a big industry I think it deserves its own jobs website,\u201d Damien says.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got some big competitors. Building awareness has been the biggest challenge. Once people are aware of us it\u2019s been really positive and they\u2019re really keen to jump on board.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nathan says for athletes, moving out of sport and into their next career can be a difficult step, particularly given what they sacrifice for their first career.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He\u2019s now 30, and over the years has found himself in the squads of some illustrious clubs including Italian giant Internazionale, Dutch powerhouse PSV Eindhoven, and perennial Danish Superliga contenders FC Copenhagen.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cYou give such a massive amount of time in your life to playing football, but all of a sudden one day it\u2019s over, if you haven\u2019t set yourself up, or thought about what you\u2019re going to do, it can be a very difficult transition,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been playing professional football overseas for 10 years and I was playing professionally for two years before that, so it\u2019s all I\u2019ve ever really known.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWhile I was finishing school a lot of my time was spent travelling overseas or travelling around playing football, so I never went to uni after.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not easy because I don\u2019t have any qualifications other than finishing year 12, but what I do think I have is a lot of worldly experience, living in different areas, seeing different cultures and I think I can really contribute to Dippla.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He credits his brother Damien for coming up with the idea for Dippla and says thanks to a keen interest in hospitality, he jumped at the chance to be involved.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The duo is self-funding the startup while the site gains traction.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really into my caf\u00e9s and restaurants and things like that,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cFootball\u2019s great, I love it, but you know it\u2019s something that won\u2019t be there forever so trying to do something like this in hospitality, it\u2019s something I\u2019ve got another passion for.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cFor me it\u2019s been great, it\u2019s a lot more hard work, but at the same time I\u2019m doing it with Damo and that\u2019s been fantastic.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
