Your Program Success is Our Mission

The story behind how we started Untap is a little unusual. When we built our platform, its purpose was to fully support its users and provide them with a seamless experience throughout all phases of a competition. Why? Because WE were the users. 

For a long time, the team behind Untap was managing competitions from A to Z. We have used conventional methods and tools and developed a deep understanding of the expectations, the needs, and the pain points of running a competition. The know-how we have built over the years enabled us to design a productive process and an efficient platform that guarantees a successful competition. Today, we are proud to be sharing our experience with others, so they can run their own competitions and achieve their goals.

Let us show you some of the areas where Untap comes to the rescue.
