High school and college NIL. Action sports. HYROX. Runners, cyclists, skiers, and snowboarders. Make a free Athlete Card, get matched with local businesses and brands, and get paid through escrow. No follower minimums.
Pick your world. It sets your sport list and which rules apply — student-athletes get the compliance engine, everyone else just needs an honest #ad.
Photo, sport, level, stats, a few highlights. Takes 3 minutes. You get a share link and a QR code that works on Instagram, Strava, a race bib, or a team banquet program.
Local businesses and brands post deals by sport and town. Apply to the ones you like, or get offered directly. Under-18? Your parent approves before anything is signed.
The sponsor pays into escrow up front. You deliver the content with the #ad disclosure, they confirm, the money releases to you. 1099s are handled automatically.
Flat 15% platform fee on top of the deal. No retainers, no agencies, no minimum spend. Most local deals run $100–$500.
No. Sponsors on AthleteForge are mostly local businesses who care that you're a real athlete in their town, not an influencer. There are no follower minimums for any sport.
