Obsesh, a real-time sports marketplace platform that connects top athletes with fans, has entered into an exclusive collegiate athletics partnership with INFLCR and TEAMWORKS to make its platform available to NCAA student-athletes looking for a convenient way to monetize their skills and preparation while elevating their image.
The exclusive integration will create an efficient turnkey process in which NCAA student-athletes can quickly enroll and onboard in the Obsesh sports marketplace platform where they can sell custom video messages and livestream experiences directly to fans and followers with NCAA compliance peace of mind. Obsesh allows aspirings and fans to support their favorite athletes by booking a personalized video coaching session with them on how to play better, live better, and get the competitive advantage on their skills or techniques. Obsesh is a community for fans to connect with their favorite NCAA and professional athletes in a way that feels more personal than an autograph.
Through the collaboration with INFLCR, all transactions on the Obsesh platform are automatically reported to INFLCR Verified’s Compliance Exchange dashboard. Obsesh and INFLCR are also working together to support NCAA student-athletes through education, technology, and plug & play resources to best position them for success.
Obsesh came out of invite-only beta stage into live monetization in early 2021, backed by the leading sports fund, Stadia Ventures, and Youtube Founder, Chad Hurley, and already features more than 250 of the world’s top athletes, Olympians, trainers, high-performance coaches and Esports players.
“Obsesh exists to make sport more personalized and give everyone the ability to reach their athletic dream. Our innovative partnership with INFLCR and Teamworks will ensure every athlete from big name to niche has equitable access to turn their obsessions into a business on their own terms,” said Obsesh CEO & Cofounder Tracy Benson.
“In less than 15 minutes, a qualified athlete can be up and running to start taking bookings from fans directly who want to support them. We know the importance of monetization and image first hand – and every athlete gets paid on the same day as delivery of their personalized coaching messages while elevating their image. Our mission is to help every athlete level up in life.”
