Sportan is a brand new "techno-sport" startup from Toronto, Canada. Sportan is an app that helps you organize pick-up sports with nearby athletes and friends while tracking your stats, performance and even attendance! WHO WE ARE They say necessity is the mother of all invention. Well, with Sportan it's no different. The inspiration came when Saqib - a passionate soccer fan - couldn't find anyone in his area to play soccer with. What's worst was that he didn't know of any games happening that very moment either, nor did he know where to look. It got him thinking: "There's got to be someone in my area who's down to play soccer. But just how do I connect with them!?" And the rest, as it's said, is history. WHY WE'RE DOING THIS While the ability connect with virtually anyone, anywhere, focused to a specific interest, exists via numerous social media and networks, you'd be hard done to find the king-pin social sports network. The way we connect with each other has evolved, but everyday athletes still have to rely on traditional means - text messages, emails, phone calls - to organize sports with their friends. Organizing or finding public pick-up sports in a defined area, well that just doesn't exist. Cue Sportan.
