For many NFL players, the transition into the league involves suddenly managing a complex team of agents, lawyers, CPAs, and marketing professionals. These groups often operate in silos, relying on disjointed emails and spreadsheets to coordinate an athlete's career. Nukleus seeks to unify these functions into a single operating system, providing a shared source of truth for everyone in an athlete’s orbit.

Raiders' Ashton Jeanty Backs Sports Tech Platform Nukleus
Ashton Jeanty is trading the gridiron for the boardroom, joining the sports career platform Nukleus as both an investor and the public face of the company. The Las Vegas Raiders running back signed on to champion the startup ahead of its public debut, aiming to streamline the fragmented business management of professional athletes.
Founder and CEO Hector Rivas, a former sports agent, designed the platform’s AI infrastructure to house collective bargaining agreements and contract data, reducing the friction of managing multifaceted professional lives. While athletes receive free access to the platform, the various service providers pay a subscription fee to manage their workflows within the system. With a leadership team featuring veterans from Microsoft, ESPN, and CAA Sports, the company is positioning itself to be the central nervous system for sports business operations. The platform is scheduled to launch later this month.
