NOCAP Sports operates a platform that connects college athletes and universities to corporate sponsors and streamlines sponsorships while ensuring compliance at every stage. The product gives brands and agencies access to thousands of athletes along with advanced analytics and communications tools, and the company has prioritized onboarding universities to scale athlete access. NOCAP reports 64 universities signed up, including the University of San Diego, the University of New Mexico, and Boise State. The company was founded in May 2020 and pivoted to its current NIL-focused model over the summer after the NCAA changed its rules to allow college athletes to monetize their name, image, and likeness. The startup says it will use the $2.5M seed to expand marketing, grow its development team to release new features, and make strategic hires including a VP of Sales, bringing headcount to about 10 full‑time employees. The co‑founders are based in Pennsylvania, Texas, and California, and the team plans to make Miami their homebase in early 2022.
