NIL is a law. Ownership is the point.
Deals end when the season does. The 1099 shows up. And nothing you built keeps paying you.
We built the way out.
NIL = name, image and likeness. It’s what the legislature named it.

How the 16 weeks work.
Find it.
Weeks 1–4
Run the market-opportunity search and R&D with us, or sharpen a concept you already have.
Build it.
Weeks 5–11
You and your co-founder ship the product. We run everything behind it.
Sell it.

Take it to market: test it with real users and win your first customers through that testing.
Who it's for.
Athletes with a name and no time.
- College athletes
- Pros, current or recent
- Athletes starting over
Every sport. Every level. Texas first. Not Texas only.
We walked away with nothing.
In 2008, Nicholas McGinnis was a D2 baseball player, six for thirty-six with a scout in the stands. Then his elbow gave out, and the scholarship went with it. Nothing caught him.
So we built the thing that should have.
If you get hurt today, you walk away with everything still.
How the money works.
We tell you what it means before you sign it. Every time. All of it.
The award
A charitable trust funds your company. You don't pay it back, the trust takes no equity, and you never have to buy anything from StatStaq, Inc.
Optional services
StatStaq, Inc. can run your brand deals, distribution and back office for 1% of the company plus a small share of revenue. It's a separate agreement, and only if you want it.
StatStaq, Inc. and the trust are separate entities with independent trustees.
Read it twice. We'll wait.
Cohort I starts March 2027.
Texas. 12 athletes. 16 weeks. Applications close when the roster fills.
Led by Nicholas McGinnis, Manny White Jr. (former NFL and UCLA captain) and DeShaun Foster, with a board of former coaches, surgeons and institutional investors.
Questions.
Is this a loan?
No. It’s an award into your company.
Will this hurt my eligibility?
The money goes to your company, not to you, and isn’t tied to your sport. Your compliance office signs off, and we help you get there.
What’s the catch?
None on the award. StatStaq, Inc. services are optional and priced separately.
I don’t have an idea.
That’s fine. Weeks 1 to 4 are for finding it: market research and R&D with us.
I’m in season in March.
Tell us on the form. We plan around your schedule.
I’m not in Texas.
Apply anyway.
