About Us
At NextName, we’re building the future of NIL. What began as a platform to create digital collectibles for college athletes has evolved into something much bigger. Inspired by the NCAA’s groundbreaking 2021 decision to allow student-athletes to monetize their Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL), we saw an opportunity to do more, not just for athletes, but for brands and fans too.
Since our founding, we’ve been committed to making NIL more accessible, authentic, and impactful. Our mission is to support athletes, elevate brands, and empower fans through innovative, real-world opportunities that celebrate the unique stories behind the athletes.
Now, we’re taking things even further. Our team is currently developing exciting new technology designed to streamline the NIL process and make it easier, smarter, and more rewarding for everyone involved. From athlete onboarding to campaign execution and fan engagement, we’re reimagining the NIL experience and we can’t wait to share what’s coming.
