Our take
The clue’s in the name with this one - Autograph is an NFT marketplace which offers digital content and ‘autographs’ of various celebrities (largely sportspeople), aiming to give fans a new way to interact with their heroes.
Co-founded by NFL star Tom Brady, its selling point is the caliber of celebrity content it offers. Usain Bolt, Naomi Osaka, Tony Hawk, Simone Biles and Tiger Woods are among the platform’s partners. Autograph isn't the only NFT marketplace to have a focus on sports - Dapper Labs has partnerships with the NFL Players Association, the NBA Player Association and more - but its closer association with individual sports personalities marks it out for fans.
Though it operates mostly in the sporting world, it has partnered with a few non-sporting celebrities too - like The Weekend (who are also on the board). Funding is being focused on expanding the brand’s pool of partnerships.
