Our story
Our Story starts when William Jr. finished college and started working. Always on the go and with no time for sports, he knew something was missing. With companies like Tinder, Tripadvisor and other platforms we know everything about singles, restaurants and the night life around us, but nothing about the sports opportunities. The more William looked for a solution, the more he formed the idea of actinate. And so, our journey began. From the Basement Office with a founding team of 4, to today we are on an exciting journey, that brings us closer and closer to our goal, to make the world of sports open to all and to make it easy for athletes to connect to each other.

Investor Caran Holding
We were once told that the best investor you can have is one that dives deep into your business idea, and gives you the drive and financial stability you need to succeed. That is exactly what Caran holding has offered our company. We are thrilled to have them on board.
