Services & Programs

What is the AlphaMind™ assessment?

AlphaMind™ is our proprietary mental performance evaluation that measures the psychological attributes critical for NIL success — including leadership, media readiness, brand authenticity, and resilience. Results are used to match athletes with aligned brand partners.

How does the NIL Marketplace work?

Verified athletes create profiles with sport stats, GPA, social reach, and brand preferences. Brands discover and contact athletes through our compliance-checked matching system. All deals flow through our escrow payment rails with automated compliance checks.

NCAA Compliance

Will NIL deals affect my NCAA eligibility?

Our compliance engine checks every deal against current NCAA rules, your state's NIL laws, and your school's disclosure requirements before any agreement is signed. We flag potential eligibility risks before they become violations.

Trademark & Brand Protection

Can I protect my name and brand?

Yes. Athlete Pro members can file trademark applications for their name, nickname, signature, or logo through our trademark services — protecting their brand before another party files first.
