Partners & investors

Build the next sport with us.

BlackForge Sports, LLC is a series LLC, and each sport is organized as its own series. If you can help a sport win, there may be a way for you to share in what you help build, if we’re a fit and we agree on terms.

Please read this first: nothing on this page is an offer or a commitment. Any involvement depends on a conversation, a look at who you are, and signed agreements. Get in touch before anything here matters.

  • One platform, many sports
  • Terms set individually, in writing

The model

One platform. A vertical for every sport.

We build the core product once: scoring, player cards, family controls and league tools. Then each sport grows as its own vertical, with its own partners and its own plan.

  • and more

BlackForge Sports, LLC is a series LLC. Each sport is organized as its own series, so each can have its own partners, economics and plan under one brand and platform. The specifics are set out in our legal documents.

Who we’re looking for

The right people for each sport.

  • Investors

    Capital, and the experience that comes with it: scaling consumer products, marketplaces, youth sports and media.

    I’m an investor
  • Sport leaders & creators

    Coaches, trainers, former athletes and creators who are trusted in a sport and can reach its families.

    I’m a creator or leader
  • Leagues & organizations

    Associations, tournaments, clubs and events that want better tools and a real say in how they are built.

    I run a league or event

Value in, upside out

What you bring shapes what you can unlock.

We match involvement to the value someone adds to a specific sport, not a one-size-fits-all package.

What you bringWhat it can unlock (examples)
Capital and financial experienceParticipation in a vertical’s upside under written terms, investor updates, and a seat in roadmap conversations.
Audience and distributionCo-branded launches and content tie-ins, referral economics, a founding-ambassador role for a sport, and incentive structures tied to that sport.
Sport expertise and credibilityAn advisory role, direct input on how the sport’s vertical works, featured content and, where it fits, an ownership incentive in that vertical.
Leagues, events and communitiesPilot programs, co-branded tournaments, preferred-partner status and revenue share on events run with us.
Sponsors, schools and brand relationshipsSponsor tie-ins and rewarded introductions.

Illustrative examples only. Nothing here is an offer. Anything of value, including equity or revenue share, would be set individually in a signed agreement, tied to a specific sport and the value contributed, and is subject to approval and to applicable law.

Pick your sport

Baseball is live. The rest are open.

Each vertical needs a lead, advisors and launch partners. If your sport isn’t listed, tell us anyway.
