Join The Crowd!
The first sports identity platform Moments now. Identity over time.
Spotlight captures the loudest plays and safest fandom. Spotlight ID preserves the athlete journey — a verified identity layer that can grow from a first highlight to a final season.
Safety-first by design
Most platforms try to “moderate” safety after the fact. Spotlight treats safety as an architecture problem: remove the mechanics that create harm, and you remove the harm surface area.
Design principles
We don’t optimize for outrage or engagement-at-all-costs. We constrain the system so the default outcome is positive support — especially for youth sports.
-
🚫No DMs, no comments Eliminates the primary channels for harassment, grooming, and pile-ons.
-
🕸️No public social graph No follower wars, no social pressure loops, no visibility chasing.
-
📣Cheering replaces arguing Voice is the interaction primitive — support, not discourse.
-
🧾Identity + context by default Highlights are tied to sport, level, and athlete — reducing ambiguity and abuse.
One identity, every level
Spotlight launches as the discovery layer (highlights + cheering) and expands naturally as athletes level up. This grows with the athlete — from first teams to final seasons — without changing who they are.
How Spotlight works
Spotlight is a system, not a social network: discovery is powered by cheering (not comments), and Spotlight Identity turns moments into a long-term athlete record that compounds over time.
Jumbotron Discovery
Scales by levelThe Jumbotron surfaces what the crowd supports — organized by youth, amateur, college, and pro. Great plays rise through positive signal, not follower counts or controversy.
Cheering Engine
Safety by designFans participate with Voice — a constrained, earned way to support highlights fairly. No comments. No DMs. No pile-ons. Engagement stays constructive because the mechanics stay clean.
Spotlight Identity
Value captureEvery verified moment becomes part of an athlete’s ongoing record — a safer identity layer that grows across seasons and levels. Moments don’t disappear. They accumulate into trust.
Fan identity, without the toxicity
Why this is rare
Spotlight gives fans a real identity — but removes the mechanics that turn identity into pressure. There’s no follower chasing, no performative posting, and no comment wars. Fans become known for the teams and sports they support, not who they dislike.

-
🤝Teammates, not DMs Social presence exists — but messaging channels that create harm are removed.
Two layers. One platform.
Spotlight is designed as a layered platform. The discovery experience captures moments and energy. Spotlight Identity preserves who those moments belong to — over time.
Spotlight surfaces the best moments in sports and lets fans participate safely through cheering — not commenting. It’s the engine that creates attention, demand, and momentum.

Why this exists now
Youth and amateur sports moved online before safety, identity, or incentives were designed correctly.
Highlights went social — but athletes didn’t get an identity layer, and fans didn’t get a healthy way to engage.
Spotlight exists to fix that gap.
Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok became social identity platforms.
LinkedIn became the professional identity platform.
Spotlight is being built to become the sports identity platform.
Cultural shift
Parents, leagues, schools, and brands now expect safety by default. Comment-driven social platforms are no longer acceptable for youth visibility.
Structural gap
Sports content exploded, but athlete identity never followed. Moments travel — people don’t.
Platform fatigue
Engagement built on outrage, replies, and follower graphs is collapsing under its own weight. The next generation needs a different interaction model.
Common questions
No. Spotlight removes the core mechanics that define social networks — public follower graphs, comments, and DMs. It’s a discovery and identity platform designed around support, not conversation.
Highlights are the entry point. The platform value is identity — preserving moments as part of a verified, long-term athlete record.
By reducing the attack surface. When cheering replaces replying, moderation load drops and safety improves by design.
Monetization is layered after trust: premium fan identity, athlete services, and brand partnerships — without forcing ads or engagement hacks early.
Their platforms are built on public replies and follower incentives. Removing those mechanics would undermine their core engagement model.
EVERYONE! — from youth to professional sports where safety, context, and identity matter most — with a structure that scales cleanly to all levels.
