We're In Beta · Every Athlete Gets a Shot

Built for the
other 99%.

NIL opportunity shouldn't stop at Division I football and basketball. RiseNIL is a platform built around the athletes the industry overlooks — and the brands smart enough to find them first.

The Platform

Two sides. One connection.

Athletes get verified, scored, and visible. Brands get a searchable roster with real data and a managed path to introduction. No cold outreach from either side.

For Athletes

01

Check Your Score Free

The NIL Score Lab lets any athlete check their score instantly with no signup. Athletic performance, engagement rate, followers, and academics — calculated live.

02

Enroll & Get Verified

Submit an enrollment form with a link to your official school roster page. A real person reviews every application — no bots, no automated approvals.

03

Get Listed

Verified athletes appear in the brand-searchable directory. Your score, sport, division, and region are visible. Your contact info stays private until you approve each introduction.

For Brands

01

Search the Roster

Filter verified athletes by sport, division, region, and NIL score. See engagement rates and estimated deal bands before you ever make contact.

02

Request an Introduction

Tell us about your campaign — type, timeline, budget. We match you with athletes who fit and facilitate the introduction personally.

03

Work Directly

Once introduced, the deal is between you and the athlete. We don't sit in the middle of contracts or take a cut. The relationship is yours from day one.


The NIL Score

A number you can trust
because you can see the math.

Most NIL valuations are black boxes. We publish ours. Four factors, each scored 0–100, then weighted to produce a single composite score.

40%
Athletic Performance
Percentile rank within conference and division for the athlete's specific event or position. The strongest single signal for brand fit.
30%
Engagement Rate
Average likes and comments as a percentage of followers. Niche athletes routinely hit 6–9% — well above the 1–2% typical for large accounts.
20%
Reach
Follower count, log-scaled so the jump from 500 to 5K counts as much as 5K to 50K. Raw follower count alone is the weakest signal we track.
10%
Academics
GPA as a brand-safety signal. Honor roll athletes close sponsorships faster and represent brands with less compliance risk.

Our Principles

What we won't do.

A few things we believe matter in this space — and that shape every decision we make about the platform.

Athletes Never Pay to List

An athlete's spot on RiseNIL is free, always. We don't charge athletes to be discovered. Monetization comes from the brand side — never the athlete side.

Contact Info Stays Private

An athlete's email and social handle are never exposed in the directory. Brands can see score, sport, and region — contact only flows through a facilitated introduction both sides have agreed to.

Human Review on Every Application

No application is approved automatically. Every athlete is checked against a public roster before they appear in search. This keeps the directory trustworthy for brands.

We're Not Agents

RiseNIL is a discovery and information platform — we don't negotiate deals, represent athletes, or take commission on contracts. Deals are between athletes and brands directly.

Ready to see how it works for you?

Whether you're an athlete who wants to know what your NIL is worth, or a brand looking for authentic partnerships — we're building for both of you.
