Activistic is a technology company specializing in app development, predominately a micro-donation platform that is being white labelled across numerous industries and countries. The beauty of their platform is that it's the first to offer repetitive micro donations to any charity without the user requiring a credit card. Rather, it is the users phone bill from where the donation is retrieved from. This cost effective donation system ensures that 85% of funds go to the intended charity as opposed to the normal 32%. The micro money industry in various forms has been very successful, and the donation industry with its poor track record and general user dissatisfaction, is ripe for revolutionizing.
On Friday 11th, ACU announced an exclusive Business Partnership with Google that saw the sp increase up to 120%. Goodle has numerous types of business partnerships that are open to any business to apply for in three main categories: Service Track (open to all); technology Track (open to all); Sales Track (exclusive: invites only). It is this last track that ACU have been invited to.

Highlights from the announcement were:
+Activistic has been selected to benefit from Google’s elite Business Partner Program
+ Activistic was one of 50 initial companies identified by Google for the program, and one of the final 10 companies chosen
+ The exclusive program runs quarterly and offers no-cost, personalized, one-to-one guidance for a handful of businesses which Google deem capable of high-growth activity
+ Google chose Activistic on the basis of their philanthropic business model, their innovations in the mobile charity giving space and outstanding user reviews for the Veterans Call app
+ Activistic successfully won a place in the program following an intensive application and interview process
A quote from Google: Ashley Black, Google’s New Business Manager, said “Based on our current focus on mobile, we believe Activistic’s business model and its positive impact, can show a high level of success and we would like to invest in creating a long, fruitful partnership.” She continues “We look forward to seeing Activistic be one of our higher growth accounts this year.”
Specifically, Google was impressed by ACU Vererans Call app that enables donations for returned US servicemen. Withe Trump's focus on veterans, couples with the attention and working with Google, this aspect of their business model should be highly successful. Link:
Other noticeable achievements from ACU:
+ launching soon a similiar product in the UK: Ralli; over 80 UK charities already signed up, including many majors.
+ partnered with Collingwood Footbal club to launch Sports Lottery in Australia
+ the first micro political donation app: Joe Carcia for US Congress
+ acquisition of Plus Connect - 'The acquisition will allow Activistic to expand its range of fund raising platforms for charities by being able to offer one of the most widely accepted charitable and not for profit fund raising activities in the world, charity based lotteries, in Australia. Plus Connect has successfully built the foundations for an online lottery business and is now ready for commercialisation.' The first application is the Weather Lottery:
The above is the briefest outline of ACU's present dealings. It should be enough to raise your interests. ACU in my opinion is now on a steady path to begin to re-rate back towards and beyond its 20c trading price in May 2015.
