How it Works
Our 5-step process gets you from sign-up to earning sponsorship income. Whether you're an individual athlete, a team, or an event, the path is the same.
Sign Up
Easily create an account as an Athlete, Team, or Event to start unlocking sponsorship opportunities. Brands are continuously looking for new sponsorship partners and brand ambassadors.
Sign Up As an Athlete, Team, or Event
Create a Profile
Complete your profile to attract as many brands as possible. Include all your social media handles — we use this in our pricing and matching algorithms. If you do not have any social media accounts, our admin will need to verify you. This usually takes a few hours once you submit a request.
- Athletes: Mention your interests and write a strong description to make you stand out.
- Teams / Events: Include the product categories open for sponsorship, plus numbers relating to viewership, audience, or participation.
Apply to Campaigns
Once you complete your profile, head over to the brand campaigns from the left menu. Check out what brands on OpenSponsorship are looking for in partners and what they are offering. Apply to those of interest, adding a customized pitch, price, and answers to their questions.
You may also be invited to a campaign directly by a brand.
We have a fit algorithm that helps guide you to the best campaigns to apply to, so you spend your time where it counts.
Accept Proposals
If selected for a campaign, the brand will send you a proposal. Hopefully it's what you were looking for, and you accept. You can also reject it or message the brand for more clarifications or adjustments.
Keeping all communication on the platform ensures that our team can step in and help at any point.
Gain Points
We track your activity on the platform including number of applications, response rate, and brand feedback. We use this rank to make athlete suggestions to brands, as well as offer you other benefits.
Keep engaged with our platform, and keep the brands you work with happy — it pays off.
