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.
- Baseball live
- Softball
- Basketball
- Football
- Soccer
- Volleyball
- Lacrosse
- Hockey
- Track & field
- 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.

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

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 bring | What it can unlock (examples) |
|---|---|
| Capital and financial experience | Participation in a vertical’s upside under written terms, investor updates, and a seat in roadmap conversations. |
| Audience and distribution | Co-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 credibility | An 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 communities | Pilot programs, co-branded tournaments, preferred-partner status and revenue share on events run with us. |
| Sponsors, schools and brand relationships | Sponsor 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.
