Everything You Need

SEVEN PILLARS. ZERO GAPS.

Protect

Contract review, legal readiness, IP rights protection. You've earned the deals — we make sure they're worth your name.

Comply

Real-time NIL compliance tracking, rule change alerts, and eligibility monitoring. Compliance isn't optional. We make sure it's never a burden.

Earn

Deal advisory, brand audits, and media kit creation. Your reputation took years to build. We protect it every day.

Finance

1099 tracking, quarterly tax estimates, income logging, and budgeting tools. You perform at the highest level — we handle the math.

Support

Direct advisor messaging, media triage, and alumni network access. Not the easy way. The right way.

Wellness

Weekly mental health check-ins, burnout monitoring, and confidential counselor access. Athlete-only. Never shared with your school.

Athlete Voices

STRAIGHT FROM THE FIELD.

"

"THIRD caught a clause in my sponsorship deal that would have locked me out of two future brand categories. That's money — and protection — I didn't know I needed."

Basketball — Sophomore

"I had no idea how to handle 1099s after my first NIL deal. My THIRD advisor walked me through everything. I actually understand my taxes now."

Amara J.
Track & Field — Junior

"The wellness check-ins keep me grounded during conference season. Knowing that data stays with me — not my school — means I'm actually honest in them."

Football — Senior
