BrandMatch

For brands & their agencies

Start from the brand's objectives and audience, then find the athletes, clubs and properties that actually move them - across markets and price points.

  • Translates brand goals into a sponsorship shopping list
  • Screens athletes & properties for audience and brand-safety fit
  • Ranks opportunities by narrative strength and reach
  • Handles complex, multi-market, multi-product portfolios
On the roadmap
At scale

Sports Portfolio Management

For rosters, colleges & brand houses

A living platform holding every athlete a brand or body represents - sport, city, availability, terms and preferences - that you can query to match the right athletes to any activation. From a college with 800 athletes to a global brand's roster.

  • Query it for any activation - "who's best for a London launch next month?"
  • Scales from a single-city campaign to Olympic & World Cup planning
  • Reveals portfolio gaps & overlaps - who to sign, who to release
  • Banks research once and reuses it across the whole portfolio
Why Kearney Sports Tech

Accuracy is the product.

Generic AI tools are confidently wrong - different answers every time, deals that expired years ago, contacts who've left. Our defensible edge is research a brand can trust.

Every claim is sourced

Each fact is tagged verified, estimated or not-found - with a live source link. Nothing reaches a proposal without a trail you can defend.

Recency, engineered

We separate when something was published from when it happened - so a two-year-old "launching soon" never gets pitched as today's opportunity.

Human judgement, kept in

Fresh-eyes QA checks each stage, and operators approve at every gate - the machine drafts, people decide. Best-practice proposals, not black-box guesses.

What makes us different

Not just another AI tool.

Accurate research is the foundation - but how the work is delivered is where clients say "wow". AI at the front of everything; humans in the loop at all the right places.

Signature

Proposals as a podcast

Every proposal and growth plan can arrive as a sharp two-minute audio show - not just a deck. Built for athletes who'd rather listen, and easy for a brand manager to share before a meeting.

Signature

See it before it's signed

AI-rendered campaign mock-ups place the brand where it would actually live - on the jersey, the stadium, the pitch-side boards - so the opportunity is felt, not just described.

AI does the onboarding

A guided AI interview builds an athlete's profile in minutes. Steer any proposal in plain English - "pitch this supermarket on our sustainability story" - and the engine does the rest.

Human in the loop

AI researches and drafts at scale; your team approves at every gate. You get the speed of automation without ever losing editorial control or standing over guesswork.

Delivered your way

The same insight, packaged for the moment - a polished document, a shareable web link, an audio show or an in-app view.

DocumentWeblinkPodcastApp

Modular, self-serve to enterprise

Take the whole platform, or just the piece you need. From a freemium app for a single athlete to a full enterprise rollout for a federation - great UX throughout, so training is minimal.

Who it's for

Built for everyone who monetises sport

From Roger Federer and Rolex to an 18-year-old college swimmer earning $100 a post - any athlete, any sport, any market.

Athlete agencies

Commercialise your whole roster, not just the marquee names.

Clubs & competitions

Fill open categories and pitch every asset with confidence.

Brands

Find the assets that actually serve your objectives.

College athletics

Manage hundreds of NIL athletes across every sport at once.

The company

We were built out of a real, unmet need.

Kearney Sports Tech started with a simple observation: the middle tier of professional sport is chronically underserved. Agencies with dozens of athletes simply don't have the hours to research sponsors and craft proposals for everyone - so most athletes never get the deals they could.

So we built the tool we wished existed: an AI that does the sourcing, the deep research and the matching - and does it accurately enough to stake a reputation on. We don't sell a database or a marketplace. We sell trustworthy research, best-practice proposals, and the time to focus on the deals that matter.

"The most defensible thing in this market isn't the data - it's getting the research right, and current, every single time."

Accuracy over volume. We'd rather find the 200 brands that fit than boast about a database of thousands.
Any athlete, any sport, any market. No marketplace to join - we research on demand.
People make the call. AI drafts and researches; humans approve and pitch.
18+ & privacy-first. Public information and consented first-party data only.
