Profile to paycheck
For athletes and creators.
Build your profile
Sport or niche, level, social reach, achievements, the deal types you take, and your minimum. Five minutes, done once.
Get discovered, or go hunting
Businesses find you in the directory. Or browse open opportunities with declared budgets and pitch the ones that fit.
Talk it through
Message any business directly. Ask questions and negotiate scope before anything is formal.
Lock the deal
An offer spells out deliverables and price, and the money is already committed before it reaches you. Accept and it is held for you straight away.
Deliver and get paid
Mark it delivered, the business confirms, the deal closes and a review lands on your profile.
Browsing to brand lift
For businesses.
Find your people
Filter by sport, level, city, and reach. A local athlete often beats a national name for a local business.
Or let them come to you
Post an opportunity with your budget. Talent pitches you, and you pick from people who already want it.
Make a real offer
Deliverables, amount, timeline, in writing. You commit the money as you send it, which is why talent take it seriously.
Only charged if they accept
Your card is authorised, not charged. Declined, withdrawn or ignored, and the hold is released with nothing taken.
Confirm and review
Talent marks the work delivered, you verify and confirm, and the deal closes.
Common questions.
How do athletes and creators find sponsors on Sponsmi?
Two ways. Build a profile with your sport or niche, reach, rates, and the deal types you take, and businesses find you in the directory. Or browse open opportunities that businesses have posted with a declared budget and pitch the ones that fit. Either way the deal itself is a written offer with the money committed before you start work.
Do I need a big following to get sponsored?
No. Local businesses sponsor local athletes for reach that national campaigns cannot buy: a fighter whose gym community trusts them, a college athlete known on campus, a creator with a small but genuinely engaged audience. Deals on Sponsmi start at a few hundred dollars, which is exactly the size where a smaller, real audience wins.
Is Sponsmi free to use?
Joining, browsing, messaging, posting opportunities, and sending or receiving offers are all free for both sides. Sponsmi keeps ten percent of a deal only when it closes, so talent receives ninety percent and a business pays exactly the listed price.
How is Sponsmi different from an agent or an influencer agency?
There is no middleman taking a third of the deal or deciding who is worth representing. Businesses and talent deal with each other directly; Sponsmi provides the directory, the written offer, and a payment that is held until delivery is confirmed.
What kinds of businesses sponsor people through a marketplace like this?
Mostly local and regional businesses that want a real person in front of a specific audience: gyms and supplement shops backing fighters, restaurants and dealerships backing hometown athletes, brands of any size backing creators in their niche. Anything from a one-off logo placement to ongoing ambassador terms.
What happens if a business does not pay, or talent does not deliver?
Neither side has to trust the other. The payment is committed when the offer is sent and held until delivery is confirmed, so talent never works unpaid; the business confirms delivery against the written deliverables before funds release, so it never pays for work that did not happen. Disputes freeze the money until resolved.
