Basepath and FanWord Launch Strategic Partnership
Grand Rapids, Michigan (September 2023) - Basepath, the leading NIL operations software company for collectives, athletic departments, and student-athletes has entered into a strategic partnership with FanWord and its storytelling product, FanWord Stories.
FanWord, who works with more than 50 organizations across its suite of products, builds turn-key athlete storytelling and brand development solutions for schools, collectives, agencies, marketplaces, and brands.
As part of the partnership, Basepath and FanWord created a special FanWord Stories package that will help Basepath collectives leverage unique athlete storytelling content for fundraising, marketing, and membership fulfillment. (i.e. for exclusive content)
“We’re incredibly excited to be bringing this partnership to life,” said Thomas Thomas Jr., CEO of Basepath. “As collectives continue to mature, content management has become a larger and more significant part of the equation. Bringing content solutions to our users is something that will help elevate the experience for all stakeholders.
Collectives looking for a content solution can now tap into FanWord’s customizable all-in-one storytelling product that manages everything from creating to publishing and promoting athlete feature stories.

We love what they stand for and are excited to strategically partner with them.”
Basepath’s solutions come in the form of software designed to ease the administrative burden that comes from NIL transactions. Primary aspects include contract management, task tracking, payment facilitation, tax & compliance documentation, and the Athlete Wallet - a tool that provides athletes with an ability to track and monitor all of their NIL deals and finances in one place.
