How it works

Three steps. No agent.

01
Make your free Card

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.

02
Get matched with sponsors

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.

03
Post. Get paid.

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.

For local businesses & brands

Sponsor the athletes in your town.

Flat 15% platform fee on top of the deal. No retainers, no agencies, no minimum spend. Most local deals run $100–$500.

Post a deal in 5 minutes
Say what you want (a post, a story, an appearance), the sport and town you care about, and a budget. We surface the athletes who fit.
Pay only when it's delivered
Your money sits in escrow. It releases when the athlete's content is live with the disclosure you agreed on — not before.
Real athletes, real neighbors
A run club captain, a HYROX regular, the kid on the varsity team, the local skate crew. People your customers actually recognize.
Compliance handled
Student-athlete deals get the eligibility check, parent co-sign, and no-school-marks guard automatically. Everyone else: FTC disclosure, done.
FAQ

Straight answers.

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.
