Why Endorsr
The platform built for athletes, not agents.
Traditional sports agents take 15–20% and only work with the top 1%. Other NIL platforms were built for US college sports and nothing else. Endorsr was built for every athlete, everywhere.

The alternatives in plain English
Here is what each option actually means for an athlete trying to earn from their sport.
Traditional sports agents
15–20% cut. Gatekeeping. Slow.
Sports agents built their model around the top 0.1% of professional athletes. They take 15–20% of every deal, require you to sign long-term exclusivity contracts, and rarely have access to more than a handful of brand relationships. If you are not playing at the highest level, you likely cannot even get an agent — and if you can, the economics rarely work in your favour.
Other NIL platforms
US college only. Limited brands. Basic tools.
Most NIL platforms launched to serve US college athletes after the 2021 rule changes. They are built for a specific regulatory context, cover a narrow range of sports, and have brand rosters that are still maturing. International athletes, professional athletes, and non-US institutions are either excluded or underserved.
Going direct to brands
Time-consuming. No matching. No protection.
Cold outreach to brands is possible — but it takes months, requires strong personal branding, and offers zero deal protection. There is no escrow, no contract template, no compliance layer. If a brand ghosts you after content is created, you have limited recourse. Most athletes who try this route give up within a few months.
