Finlete Funding works in tandem with its parent company, Finlete, Inc., which supplies administrative services and an online platform to facilitate investor participation.

Through exempt securities offerings, Finlete Funding enables sports fans to invest in the future earnings of athletes by purchasing designated classes of preferred stock tied to individual Player Agreements.
