For Athletes

Monetize Your NIL.
Keep What You Earn.

Connect directly with brands, sign compliant deals, and get paid fast — with or without an agent.

How It Works

Your path to NIL deals

Step 1

Create Your Free Profile

Set up your athlete profile in minutes — add your sport, school, social media handles, and the services you offer.

Step 2

Get Discovered by Brands

Brands search and find you directly. Your profile is your storefront — with or without an agent.

Step 3

Review & Sign Deals

Use legally-vetted contract templates. Automatic compliance checks ensure NCAA and state rules are met before you sign.

Step 4

Complete Work & Get Paid

Brands save a card upfront and are charged only when work is approved — you keep 100% of every deal.
