We’re looking for a rockstar to join our team.

About Athlytic
Athlytic is an innovative technology-based start-up that connects student-athletes with potential endorsement partners. We understand that finding the perfect partner can be challenging, and we simplify that experience for student-athletes and brands with our fully-integrated marketplace.

Athlytic has recently been featured on Mastercard, Front Office Sports, Mailchimp, ESPN Radio, Forbes, Business Insider, Yahoo, and VH1 Networks and backed by firms like a16z, Concrete Rose, and Techstars.
