Problem
Sponsorship opportunities in sports, entertainment, creators, hospitality and live events often remain unsold because brands struggle to find suitable partners and operators lack a centralized, vetted source of deal flow.
Solution
Seat Theory provides a curated marketplace that aggregates pre‑packaged sponsorship opportunities, each including assets, audience data, and commission details. The platform ranks listings based on an operator’s categories, relationships, and track record, surfacing the deals they are most likely to win. Operators access a feed of qualified opportunities, work within built‑in deal rooms, and earn a commission on any closed sponsorship. A subscription grants members continuous access to the curated deal flow, community resources, and the network of brands and organizations submitting inventory.

Primary users are sponsorship operators and revenue professionals who sell partnership inventory, as well as brands and organizations seeking to list sponsorship assets.
