# Sponsorcloud > Sponsorcloud is an outsourced, mandated sponsorship department for sports clubs, teams and individual athletes. It builds the sponsorship concept, runs proactive outreach to regional and national businesses, negotiates the deals and manages the sponsor relationships — on a pure commission basis with no upfront cost to the club. Sponsorcloud is a project of DATA24 LLC (Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA). Founder: Jannis Merz. Contact: info@sponsorcloud.com. Site language: English. ## What Sponsorcloud is - A commission-only sponsorship acquisition service, not a marketplace, directory or advertising agency. - It acts under a direct mandate from the club, identifying itself to businesses as the club’s authorized sponsorship manager. - It covers the full cycle — Plan, Pitch, Manage — as one connected process rather than a single step. - There is no upfront budget required from the club; Sponsorcloud earns only a share of sponsorship revenue it secures. ## Who it serves - Amateur and semi-professional sports clubs and teams across all sports with a genuine, active fanbase. - Individual athletes who lack time or resources to negotiate with brands themselves. - Club chairpersons, board members and athletic directors without an in-house marketing or sales department. ## Core services - **Sponsorship Strategy** — a tailored sponsorship concept with tiered packages (Basic, Classic, Premium) and flexible terms (monthly, 6-month, annual). Concept creation is free. - **Active Outreach** — direct phone and email pitching of regional and national businesses under the club’s mandate, managed through to signed contract. - **Relationship Management** — regular sponsor check-ins, clear performance reporting, and renewal management. ## Key distinctions - Unlike sponsorship marketplaces, Sponsorcloud does the selling; the club does not. - Unlike traditional agencies, Sponsorcloud does outreach and negotiation, not advice and campaigns. - Existing club sponsor relationships remain entirely the club’s own; Sponsorcloud focuses on new sponsors unless explicitly mandated otherwise. - Typical time to first secured partner: several weeks to a few months, depending on season and package tier. - Commission rate is not published on the website; it is discussed on an introductory call. ## Pages - [Home](https://sponsorcloud.com/): positioning, services, process, model, FAQ. - [Our Approach](https://sponsorcloud.com/approach.html): detailed Plan / Pitch / Manage process, why it works, about the company, contact form. - [Privacy Policy](https://sponsorcloud.com/privacy.html) - [Terms of Use](https://sponsorcloud.com/terms.html) ## Machine-readable resources - [Full description](https://sponsorcloud.com/llms-full.txt) - [Agent guide](https://sponsorcloud.com/agent.md) - [Agent descriptor](https://sponsorcloud.com/agent.json) - [Sitemap](https://sponsorcloud.com/sitemap.xml) ## Contact - Email: info@sponsorcloud.com - Book an introductory call: https://meet.sponsorcloud.com/sponsorcloud
