Sponsors support the platform.
Athletes own their voice.
USN offers brands authentic alignment with women's sports, without the filters, gatekeepers, or influence mechanics of traditional sponsorship.
Sponsors may support visibility. Sponsors may not buy influence. Athlete voice is never for sale.
Authentic support. Zero influence.
Sponsors Can
- Support platform visibility and reach across women's sports
- Align your brand with the athlete-first women's sports movement
- Appear in sponsor recognition on the USN platform
- Reach fans who are actively engaged with women's sports
- Support specific sport coverage areas or story collections
Sponsors Cannot
- Edit, approve, or reject athlete stories
- Suppress or influence athlete content or rankings
- Purchase athlete profile placement without athlete consent
- Appear as an individual athlete sponsor without athlete consent
- Use sponsorship to direct or shape athlete messaging
“Athlete voice is not a commodity. Sponsors support the platform. Athletes own the story.”
USN Platform Integrity Principle
Review first. Activation after approval.
Sponsorship is not instant checkout. This protects athletes, sponsors, and the integrity of the platform.
Inquiry
Choose a package or describe a custom goal. USN records the interest before any payment changes hands.
Brand Review
USN reviews mission fit, category risk, and athlete-safety concerns. Sponsors cannot buy influence or editorial control.
Payment
Approved sponsors receive the correct payment link, invoice, or agreement for the reviewed package.
Activation
Sponsor recognition, reporting, referral tracking, and onboarding begin only after review and payment are complete.
Choose your level of support.
USN uses a tiered pricing model so sponsorship is accessible to businesses of every size. Select your business size below to see your pricing.
