For businesses
Back someone your customers already follow.
Find local athletes and creators, agree the work in writing, and pay through the platform. No agency retainer, no guesswork.
From browsing to brand lift.
Search, or let them come to you
Filter every athlete and creator by sport, level, city, and audience size. Or post an opportunity with your budget and let talent pitch you.
Talk it through
Message anyone directly before committing. Ask what they will actually post, when they compete, and what has worked for them before.
Send a written offer
Deliverables, amount, timeline, all in writing. They accept, decline, or come back to negotiate. Nothing is ambiguous.
Fund the deal
You pay the listed amount, nothing added on top. Sponsmi holds it until you confirm the work, so your money is never gone before the work is.
Confirm and review
Talent marks the work delivered. You verify it, then confirm and close the deal. Your review helps the next business, and theirs helps you.

Who this works for.
Gyms and studios
Back the fighters and lifters who already train with you. Their fight-week content reaches exactly the people who might walk in.
Supplement and nutrition shops
Local athletes are the most credible possible endorsement, and the deals start around two hundred and fifty dollars.
Auto, trades, and home services
A recognisable local name on a truck or a jersey buys years of neighborhood familiarity.
Restaurants and cafes
Team meal partnerships and appearance deals turn a local roster into recurring foot traffic.
Clinics and recovery
Chiropractic, physio, and recovery studios convert well against an athlete audience already thinking about their body.
Regional consumer brands
Build a roster of ten small creators for the cost of one mid-tier influencer, with clearer deliverables.

Questions businesses ask.
What does it cost to try?+
Nothing. Accounts, browsing, posting opportunities, messaging, and offers are all free. When you fund a deal you pay the listed amount and nothing more; our ten percent comes out of that, not on top of it.
How do I know the audience numbers are real?+
Talent enter their own follower counts, so treat them the way you would treat any self-reported figure: ask for a screenshot of their insights before you fund a deal. Completed deals build a review history that is much harder to fake.
What if they do not deliver?+
Your money is held by Sponsmi, not sent to them. Talent must submit written proof of delivery, and you get five days to check it against the agreed scope. If it is wrong, open a dispute and the funds freeze before anyone is paid.
How much should I spend on my first deal?+
Most local sponsorships start between two hundred and fifty and one thousand dollars. Start small with one athlete, measure what comes back, then decide whether to build a roster.
Can I sponsor more than one person?+
Yes. Many businesses find a roster of several local athletes outperforms a single larger name, and Sponsmi keeps every deal, deliverable, and payment in one place.
