Icon Source

Icon Source is a Denver, Colorado marketplace that connects brands, marketing agencies and universities with professional and college athletes for endorsement, appearance, speaking and social-media deals, including Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) engagements. Founded in 2018 by Chase Garrett, the platform lets brands search and filter verified athletes by location, interest, rate, audience size and demographics, build and send contracts, and pay athletes in-platform, charging a 10% transaction fee on each deal that is signed and closed. A companion product, Icon Suite (launched March 2022), gives universities NIL disclosure and compliance tooling. Icon Source is delivered strictly as an end-user product — a web application at prod.iconsource.app plus iOS and Android apps — and publishes no public API, SDK, developer portal or machine-readable contract of any kind.

Icon Source is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Sports, Athletes, Marketing, and Advertising.

Icon Source’s developer surface includes engineering blog, support, signup flow, and 8 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Education & Research regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/icon-source: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →

  detail: Icon Source ships its athlete-endorsement marketplace only as an end-user web and mobile product; iconsource.com/developers,
    /developer, /api and /docs all 404, no GitHub organization exists, and the app's sole backend is a private tRPC service
    at api.prod.iconsource.app that answers every path with 'No "query"-procedure on path' and publishes no OpenAPI or SDL.
