About SPIN Global
In 2009, SPIN Global was founded by a group of visionaries including Jonathan Bricklin, Andrew Gordon, Franck Raharinosy, and Wally Green. Their mission was simple yet ambitious: transform the traditional game of ping pong into a vibrant social movement. By blending play, art, and community, SPIN redefined ping pong as a lifestyle, creating an inclusive experience that resonated with a diverse audience.
SPIN's journey was marked by significant milestones. The company quickly gained popularity, opening franchised table tennis clubs and bars across major cities. This expansion was fueled by a unique business model that combined entertainment with social interaction, attracting both casual players and serious enthusiasts.
In September 2023, SPIN Global reached a pivotal moment when it was acquired by Bird Global, Inc., a leader in environmentally friendly electric transportation. This acquisition allowed SPIN to continue operating as an independent subsidiary under the SPIN brand, ensuring the preservation of its unique culture and community-driven approach.
Throughout its journey, SPIN Global has remained committed to its core values of inclusivity and community engagement. By positioning itself as more than just a game, SPIN has successfully created a global movement that celebrates the joy of play and the power of connection. Today, SPIN stands as a testament to the transformative potential of reimagining traditional activities for a modern world.
