The platform functions as a shared workspace where agents, financial advisors, and attorneys can collaborate on a single interface. Each brand deal or playing contract is tracked from initial signature through the final payout, with a revenue dashboard providing projections for both active playing contracts and external endorsements. To address privacy concerns, Nukleus operates its own AI servers, ensuring that sensitive financial data remains off-limits to third-party providers. Founder Hector Rivas, who previously co-founded ThriftBooks and the agency Disruptive Sports, designed the software to mirror the infrastructure of professional team front offices.

Nukleus Debuts Financial Front Office for Professional Athletes
Ashton Jeanty, the Las Vegas Raiders running back and 2025 NFL draft pick, is anchoring the launch of Nukleus, a digital platform designed to centralize the fragmented business lives of professional athletes. By consolidating contracts, deal flow, and payment schedules, the startup aims to eliminate the information gaps that often plague high-earning sports stars.
Financial instability among former players remains a significant issue, with research indicating that nearly one in six NFL players drafted between 1996 and 2003 filed for bankruptcy within 12 years of retirement. This risk has recently expanded to the collegiate level following the July 2025 House v. NCAA settlement, which allows schools to pay student-athletes directly. With institutions now distributing up to $21.58 million annually per school, student-athletes effectively operate small businesses. Nukleus offers free access to athletes via mobile app stores, while charging agents and organizations for platform use.
