FanJolt Partners with Triumph NIL to Provide Virginia Tech Athletes a Platform to Monetize Their Name, Image and Likeness (NIL)
New York, NY (September 29, 2022) – FanJolt and Triumph NIL, a collective supporting Virginia Tech student athletes, have partnered to provide a platform for athletes to monetize their Name, Image and Likeness (NIL). The partnership provides a white-labeled version of FanJolt branded specifically with Triumph NIL’s colors and logos, available exclusively for VT athletes.
FanJolt, a new experiential platform that launched in 2022, creates memorable interactions between fans and a curated list of premier talent to support their favorite causes. This new partnership will create opportunities on the platform and through the FanJolt app for Virginia Tech athletes to connect directly with fans through live broadcasts, personalized messages, recorded videos and more for a fee to earn revenue from their NIL.
“We are excited through our partnership to support Triumph NIL’s mission of helping Virginia Tech student athletes monetize their NIL,” says Trevor Short, founder and CEO of FanJolt. “Triumph NIL’s white-labeled version of the FanJolt platform will provide a platform for all VT athletes.”
"Our partnership with FanJolt opens the door for Virginia Tech Student-Athletes to have additional opportunities to monetize their brand," said Robyn Jones, COO of Triumph. "The platform that FanJolt has developed will empower our athletes to engage with the fans in some unique ways. We look forward to showcasing what the platform can do to further support our mission to maximize student-athletes' individual and group earning potential through creative activations."
Philanthropy is also an important part of FanJolt. Portions of the proceeds earned from the Triumph NIL Student Athletes will be going to The Hokie Way Foundation.
Organizations supported by FanJolt include Rafa Nadal Foundation, Aaron Judge’s #AllRise Foundation, Patrick Mahomes’ 15 and the Mahomies Foundation, Tua Tagovailoa’s Tua Foundation and Jewel’s Inspiring Children Foundation, with more to be identified by participating talent.
Trevor Short, CEO of Fanjolt, is available for interviews to comment on the new partnership. Contact Vicky Lynch at fanjolt@guidemybrand.com with any questions or to schedule an interview.
