| Tell us about your company: |
| Athlete To Athlete is a marketplace connecting youth athletes with current college athletes for mentorship. |
| What inspired you to start your business? |
| I have been an athlete my entire life and was on the football team at UCLA when NIL was passed. We saw this platform as an opportunity for college athletes to earn from their expertise while giving back and supporting the younger generation of athletes. |
| What are your proudest achievements so far? |
| In our first 2 years, we scaled to more than 5,000 active pairings across the country. |
| What advice do you have for aspiring entrepreneurs: |
| Understand your own motivations for starting a business and stay true to what you want the business to become. |
| Please share a memory or thought about your alma mater: |
| We spent countless hours across campus on sales calls, interviewing mentors, and getting Athlete to Athlete off the ground. I’m thankful to have been able to build something at such a young age and will always remember the absurdity of the very early days building business in a classroom. |
