Descriptiontext

Florida Victorious is a Coral Gables, Florida-based fan membership platform and Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) collective that operates as the official NIL partner of the University of Florida Gators athletics program. Founded in 2023, the company is structured across two entities — Florida First Collective, LLC and Florida Achievement Support Trust d/b/a Florida Victorious Foundation — and serves both consumer fans and student-athletes. The product surface consists of a five-tier subscription membership (priced $25 to $5,000 per month) that unlocks exclusive articles, video, and audio content via 'The Vault,' a community message board (with 908 threads and 10.3K comments at snapshot), recurring experiential events (e.g., The Ladies Clinic), and a merchandise and limited-edition bourbon storefront (shopfloridavictorious.com). The company also runs a non-profit foundation arm that accepts tax-deductible donations.

On the NIL side, Florida Victorious functions as a marketing agency and intermediary that structures compensation packages between businesses/donors and student-athletes, with disclosed deals including a reported ~$8M commitment to consensus All-American forward Thomas Haugh, re-signings of baseball players Ethan Surowiec and Jackson Barberi, and content featuring football and basketball athletes. The GTM motion is community-led and direct-to-consumer: fan acquisition runs through owned content, organic social (Facebook, Instagram, X), Discord, and email, with subscribers self-selecting tiers via the website. Revenue is diversified across recurring membership subscriptions, one-time e-commerce (merchandise and bourbon), and donor/contributed income routed through the foundation. The core technology stack is not explicitly disclosed, and there is no AI/ML component referenced in the input. Florida Victorious is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding, parent company, M&A activity, or revenue figures in the source data.
