Society Matrix) to deliver a clear, data-driven view of NIL potential.

Your Performance, Network, and Story: Are They Working for You Yet?

Build Influence. Create Connections. Secure Deals.

Who We Serve and Why It Matters

We help athletes build their brands, grow their influence, and get discovered earlier. We give parents trusted guidance and education to navigate NIL opportunities. We equip coaches and recruiters with beyond-the-stat-sheet insights for identifying well-rounded, NIL-ready athletes. And we connect local, regional, and national businesses with rising talent that aligns with their values, target market, and marketing goals.

Why NIL Leaders Works

Unlike generic NIL marketplaces, NIL Leaders offers a scoring-based evaluation system that quantifies NIL readiness, measures marketability, and builds long-term brand value. This makes it easier for athletes to stand out, businesses to invest confidently, and coaches to recruit athletes who excel both on and off the field.

Beyond NIL - Building Futures

The reality is that 94% of athletes end their competitive careers after high school. That’s why NIL Leaders is more than a platform for Name, Image, and Likeness deals, it’s a career and life development ecosystem. For athletes who’ve grown within our network, we leverage the brand, reputation, and relationships they’ve built to open doors beyond the game. From connecting them with employers to positioning them for better opportunities because of their NIL-ready skill set, we help ensure the end of a sports career is the start of their next big win.

What NIL Means to Us

We’re here to help people. That’s our foundation; to serve, support, and empower through every stage of life and leadership. This journey began when our founder had a vision that changed his path completely. That vision became the spark for what is now NIL Leaders: a platform built on purpose, guided by faith, and powered by innovation.

Nearly two decades later, that vision is still alive. It’s been shaped by trials and triumphs, moments of doubt and deep conviction. We’ve grown through setbacks. We’ve celebrated victories and we’ve kept moving forward with one goal in mind: you. We’re here because of You. To help you win in the game of life and unlock your potential in your goals, dreams, and calling. We’ve built a foundation you can stand on. And while our technology may be cutting-edge, our values haven’t changed. Success isn’t just about deals, fame, money, or where you go to school. It’s about knowing who you are, heart, vision, community, character, and relationships.

As your journey with us begins, and we learn more about your challenges, your purpose, and your environment, we hope you’ll come to see that you’re not alone. You’ve got a team behind you, powered by insight, driven by purpose, and walking with you every step of the way.

Name

A person’s name is not just a label, it represents their reputation, legacy, and how they are known before both God and men. 

In the NIL era, your name carries weight, not just in contracts or media, but in how others see your integrity, work ethic, and impact. Protecting and honoring your name means staying true to your values, even when fame or money enters the picture.

Reputation over Riches

Integrity sustains influence

You don’t just represent yourself, you represent your family, community, and calling

Image

Your image isn’t just about appearance, it’s about your character, conduct, and who you represent in the world. 

In an age of social media and branding, image can be distorted or curated. But a lasting image is built on authenticity, service, and strength of character; not filters, hype, or popularity.  

Image equals reflection of inner truth, not outer perception

Your character shapes your image more than any post

Every platform is a chance to reflect something higher

Likeness

Likeness speaks to your influence, how your actions ripple outward and shape others’ lives. 

Whether you’re on the field, in the boardroom, or online, your likeness is what people associate with you. Do your actions match your message? Do your partnerships reflect your values? Likeness is where influence meets accountability. 

Influence should reflect purpose, not ego

Likeness equals alignment between values, message, and behavior 

The right impact lasts beyond your career

The NIL Platform Built for
"What's Next"

NIL Leaders vs The Competition

In a rapidly evolving NIL landscape, standing out takes more than talent, it takes strategy, identity, and proof of value. NIL Leaders exists to bridge that gap. We’re a performance-driven NIL platform built for athletes, families, coaches, and businesses ready to compete at the next level. By combining brand development, mentorship, and proprietary scoring through our Heligenix Engine™, we help individuals grow and monetize their name, image, and likeness, while giving businesses a smarter, data-driven way to discover and invest in rising talent.

While many platforms focus solely on deal facilitation for college athletes, NIL Leaders takes a more comprehensive approach, rooted in long-term growth, multi-audience value, and personalized scoring. Here’s how we compare to other leading platforms in the NIL space:

Most NIL platforms focus on short-term dealmaking for college athletes. NIL Leaders goes deeper. We serve the full NIL ecosystem, empowering athletes, parents, coaches, and businesses through data, education, and real connections. Our proprietary Heligenix Engine™ powers the NILP Score™, giving talent a measurable edge and giving brands a smarter way to invest. This is the future of NIL, not just access, but readiness. Not just visibility, but verified value.

The Heligenix™ Engine

The Heligenix™ Engine is NIL Leaders’ proprietary intelligence framework, the technology and methodology that powers our entire evaluation ecosystem. Built to merge advanced analytics, human expertise, and market insight, it transforms complex data into clear, actionable metrics that athletes, businesses, and organizations can trust.

At its core, the Heligenix™ Engine continuously collects and analyzes performance, branding, and market-readiness data across multiple dimensions, from athletic output and game IQ, to brand influence, scholastic performance, digital presence, relationship management, and NIL market behavior. It then synthesizes these insights into four interlinked scores: the AMS™, Nine9 Index™, ISM™, and NILP™.

This is not a static measurement tool. The Heligenix™ Engine is dynamic and adaptive, updating as the marketplace evolves, as rules change, and as you grow. It’s designed to give you a clear competitive edge, helping you identify strengths, reveal opportunities, and build a roadmap toward maximizing your value in both the NIL space and your professional future.

Purpose: Serve as the central intelligence system that evaluates, ranks, and positions athletes and businesses for long-term success in the NIL economy.

Nine9 Index™

The Nine9 Index™ is NIL Leaders’ proprietary athletic performance benchmark designed to measure how close an athlete is to achieving top-tier status in their sport. Named for the 99th percentile, the gold standard of athletic excellence, the Nine9 Index™ evaluates speed, strength, agility, endurance, sport-specific skill execution, and Game IQ.

This score is not just about raw stats; it measures the impact of your performance in real competition, including your ability to read plays, make high-level decisions under pressure, and execute with precision. Whether you are trying to stand out to recruiters, dominate at the next showcase, or secure NIL deals, the Nine9 Index™ shows exactly where you rank and provides a clear road map to reaching the elite level.

Purpose: Give athletes a clear, quantifiable, and trusted performance metric that brands, coaches, and recruiters can instantly recognize and respect.

AMS™
Athlete Marketability Score™

The AMS Score™ is NIL Leaders’ proprietary measurement of an athlete’s readiness to attract and maximize NIL opportunities. It evaluates personal branding, social media engagement, academic performance, reputation management, relationship interactions, and overall market appeal.

Built from verified data and practical evaluation, this score combines your online presence, scholastic achievements, community influence, professionalism, and the way you engage with brands, fans, and media. The AMS Score™ is designed to show not only where you stand today, but what steps will elevate your marketability to the next tier.

Purpose: Provide athletes with a measurable, actionable score that brands, businesses, and coaches can trust when considering partnerships, while giving athletes a clear path to becoming top-tier NIL prospects.

ISM™ Score
I.D.E.A. Society Matrix™

The ISM™ measures how prepared an athlete or business is to operate as a competitive brand in today’s marketplace. Built on the I.D.E.A. framework (Identify, Develop, Execute, Analyze), it scores visibility, discoverability, and the ability to convert opportunities into results.

This metric evaluates your digital brand infrastructure, search engine presence, content quality and consistency, and the strength of your relationship-building and reputation management. It also factors in technology adoption, strategic partnerships, analytics, and market positioning. The result is a precise, data-driven view of your market readiness and competitive standing in the NIL economy.

Purpose: Give athletes and businesses a professional-level blueprint to stand out, attract, and secure high-value opportunities while building long-term brand equity.

NILP Score™
Name, Image, Likeness, Performance Score™

The NILP Score™ is the definitive composite measure of NIL-readiness, uniting the three core pillars of the Heligenix™ Engine, the AMS™, Nine9 Index™, and ISM™, into one trusted benchmark. It delivers a complete, 360° view of your marketability, competitive performance, and brand positioning in the NIL economy.

By combining brand influence, athletic or operational excellence, and market readiness, the NILP Score™ shows exactly where you stand and what it will take to reach top-tier status. It’s designed to help you understand your strengths, close performance gaps, and unlock the full earning potential of your name, image, and likeness across local, regional, and national opportunities.

Purpose: Provide athletes, businesses, and organizations with a clear, data-backed benchmark for NIL success, along with a roadmap for achieving elite-level performance and results.

Find the NIL Path That Fits You

We don’t believe in “trial” memberships that limit access and results. Every NIL Leaders plan is intentionally designed to equip members with the tools, education, and connections to grow from day one.

The Athlete | Family Basic Plan serves as the foundation. Members receive a profile inside the HQ, access to the core community spaces, and entry to the NIL Opportunities Board.

From there, every additional deal adds pure profit with no ceiling on NIL potential.
