Engate, Inc.

Here at Engate, we have created a solution to empower fans via the concept of gifting. Through our service, fans can connect in a more meaningful way with their favorite teams and, in return, the athletes from those teams are able to receive valuable financial support. A decade ago, Olympic Sailor Akira Ishibashi embarked on a journey to fund his dream of competing in the Beijing Olympics by selling T-shirts. Sadly, his story echoes the harsh reality faced by numerous teams and athletes in underrepresented sports markets. At Engate, we acknowledge the struggles that have forced many talented athletes to abandon their aspirations. Determined to make a difference, we embarked on a mission to revolutionize support for teams of these athletes. Our inspiration struck when we witnessed ice-skating enthusiasts showering Hanyu, Japan’s renowned figure-skater, with congratulatory Winnie the Pooh dolls after his victorious performance. This poignant moment ignited our resolve to find innovative ways to uplift and empower sports teams worldwide. We offer a groundbreaking solution that not only rewards athletes but also fosters meaningful connections between fans and their favorite sports teams and stars.
