LEARN OUR BUSINESS MODEL
The Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex has been home to some of the most talented athletes in the world. Furthermore, Austin, Ft. Worth, Lubbock, and Waco are home to some of the most celebrated universities in the nation. We strive to tunnel these southern athletes into a syndicate that provides organic growth through our numbers. Similar to a pyramid (wide at the bottom and slim at the top) we believe athletes should capitalize on their likeness and network. As such, our focal point is on athletes from Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana due to our strong roots in the area. The business model we have organized is further explained in the excel spreadsheet we have. Due to regulation of player owning an equity stake in management firms of athletes, we have created a unique business model to secure financial affluence for our athletes far after their playing career by allowing them a deferred ownership stake in the company until retirement.
