AthCo
The brand operating system for student-athletes — NIL merch stores, AI content tools, and digital athlete cards that turn a following into a business.
AthCo hands student-athletes the infrastructure professionals take for granted. Brand-building tools, NIL-ready merch stores, an AI content engine, and shareable digital athlete cards let an athlete build a real brand, grow an audience, and monetize it — ownership and structure long before the next level. Built and led from the CTO seat by Forge & Helm’s founder.
