A decentralized collective that allows fans, alumni, and stakeholders to directly invest in athletes, coaches, and even revenue-generating college sports programs.
Through blockchain and DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) governance, we aim to create an equitable, transparent, and community-driven ecosystem that empowers athletes, strengthens programs, and transforms sports funding forever.

The NIL era opened doors for athletes to monetize their name and talent but not all athletes get a seat at the table. Most NIL deals flow to high-profile stars, leaving smaller programs and deserving players behind. At the same time, fans and alumni have no real path to participate or earn from the value they help create.
Dubmans was born to fix that. By leveraging Web3 tools like smart contracts, DAOs, and NFTs we give fans direct access to fund athletes and programs, earn revenue-share NFTs, and vote on where money goes. We don't just level the playing field — we change the game.
Dubmans is a decentralized, blockchain-powered platform that empowers fans, alumni, and communities to invest directly in college athletes and athletic programs. Through fractional ownership, smart contracts, and DAO governance, Dubmans enables supporters to fund NIL deals, vote on proposals, and share in the financial success of their favorite teams.
Dubmans uses smart contracts to create transparent, tamper-proof NIL agreements that are publicly viewable and enforceable. This guarantees that athletes receive the compensation they’re promised—no loopholes, no broken promises. The DAO also allocates funding equitably, including a dedicated reserve for Title IX compliance.
Unlike top-down collectives, Dubmans is a community-governed DAO. Members vote on where funds go, and all contributions provide utility—such as NFTs, governance power, or access to exclusive athlete content. This structure aligns incentives, promotes transparency, and removes legal ambiguity around donor benefits.
Anyone can join Dubmans starting at just $20. Through the Concierge onboarding service, even users unfamiliar with blockchain or crypto can easily set up wallets, buy tokens, and start funding athletes or voting on proposals. It’s designed to make Web3 accessible to every sports fan.
Dubmans uses NFTs to represent fractional shares in team revenue or player-backed projects, which fans can buy, sell, or hold for perks. The $DUB token is the native currency used for governance and marketplace transactions, giving holders real influence in how funds are allocated.
Dubmans redirects capital from fans and supporters into schools and athletes that traditional systems often ignore. Through DAO-voted proposals, smaller schools and unheralded players can receive meaningful NIL deals, keeping talent in place and promoting parity across college sports.
