Mission

FanStake will empower college athletes to capitalize on their Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) while supporting their academic and athletic pursuits.

Olivia Dunne: Profiting from NIL

Dunne is TikTok’s million-dollar tumbler. The all-American gymnast at Louisiana State University is the world’s most-followed college athlete. The New Jersey native has turned her 12 million followers into endorsement gold.

The Opportunity

Fan Stake Inc., a Florida corporation with offices in West Palm Beach, Florida and New York City, allows fans to invest in athletes’ futures, sharing in their financial success. Like venture capital startups, the management of Fan Stake identifies promising sports stars using Ai and machine learning analytics, offering fans a chance to invest in their collegiate careers. Fan Stake empowers the fans to not only be emotionally involved in their favorite athlete, but to invest and share in the future earnings of that athlete including NIL (Name, Image Likeness) grants, endorsements and professional contracts, a privilege until recently limited to private equity funds and institutional investors.

The Company’s regulated crowd funding platform located at www.Fanstake.io allows fans to invest in featured athletes’ future earnings through a FINRA-registered crowdfunding engine under REG CF. Similar to investing in fractional fine art, real estate or racehorses, fans can purchase fractional equity in an athlete’s future career and professional earnings.

Key Highlights

  • Growing market: $1.4 billion NIL industry expected to expand significantly.
  • Unique asset class: Diversify your portfolio with athlete NIL investments and receive cash flow/dividends on athlete investments.
  • Scalable platform: Technology-driven matching athletes and funding process.
  • Support the next generation of sports leaders.
  • Join the movement transforming college athletics.
  • Expert team: Seasoned professionals in sports marketing, finance, and athlete management.
