Obsesh

Los Angeles, CA, United States

Overview

Obsesh is a creator marketplace platform for sports that connects fans with athletes for training, tips, and pro feedback via a mobile marketplace. Users create accounts and browse to book athletes for coaching on skills like speed, agility, vertical, and specialized techniques. Athletes transact directly with consumers through a self-serve interface, set their own prices, and keep 75% of each transaction while receiving premium digital marketing, social, and growth support. The company launched in May 2021 and has grown to more than 300 pro, Olympic, and NCAA athletes on its platform. Obsesh says it reduces merchandising, payments, distribution and business-management burdens for athletes so they can own and monetize their audiences. The company is female-founded by Tracy Benson and Jonalyn Morris and is backed by a roster of sports and tech investors.
