Deal Structures for Athletes

As an athlete, your Deal structures are based on Income Contracts—investors participate in your future earnings rather than equity in a company. You can choose to share earnings from your sport career only, or from both sport and non-sport income.

Every structure can be customized. As you adjust terms, you'll see a Deal Summary update in real-time.
