Our take

Playfinder’s online booking platform allows users to easily book sports facilities in their area, while solving the problems of under-booking and digital solutions deficits at small to medium-sized sports venues. Having first focused on the city of London alone, Playfinder currently operates in a number of other major cities and towns across the UK as well as in Dublin, Ireland.

Early growth was steady for the company after its 2014 inception, and in recent years, the platform’s popularity has soared, quite akin to the growth of similar tech used by restaurants.

This surge in platform traffic helped Playfinder secure its first seven-figure investment from Armajaro Holdings as well as new Chairman, David Roberts. The next big steps for the company are to increase its in-house talent pool, form further partnerships with sports companies, education boards, councils and private venue owners, and expand its footprint across the UK and Ireland.
