Patrick Rahmé and Arthur de Rivoire founded the company on 12th December 2012 in Luxembourg. Patrick and Arthur are both graduates from HEC Lausanne – School of Business (Lausanne, Switzerland) and have represented their countries (Luxembourg and Switzerland respectively) in several international and European Championships. Their visions lie in a way that Internet will gravitate from mass communities to a more intimate approach, directing and gathering people around specific themes and interests.

In July 2013, the All Square team integrated “Technoport”, a high-tech business incubator, in Esch-sur-Alzette (Luxembourg) where the startup benefitted from a wide network of professionals, coaching sessions and synergies with other entrepreneurs.

The beta version of www.allsquaregolf.com was launched on 9th August 2013 with supporters such as Troon®, the leader in upscale golf course management, development and marketing and Valedictorian, a luxury putter brand.

In October 2013, All Square has been identified as one of the most promising early-stage startups around the world by the Web Summit, the largest tech conference in the world, also referred to as “The new hot ticket on the tech conference scene” – Forbes. After calls with 5000+ startups from 80+ countries the Web Summit has nominated All Square in the last 250.

As of January 2014, the Ministry of the Economy and Foreign Trade of the government of Luxembourg have selected All Square to integrate the “Plug and Play Tech Center” headquartered in the Silicon Valley (CA), which serves as a business accelerator that specializes in growing tech startups. This program is designed to enable high-tech startups to explore business development, fund-raising and other strategic partnership opportunities.
