The challenge

Where the operation was getting stuck

Combat-sports fighters had no dependable system for finding sponsors, while brands lacked a focused way to discover athletes and measure opportunities. Deals were informal, conversations were fragmented, and the community had no shared operating platform.

What AURA built

A system designed around the real workflow

AURA designed and built a full SaaS product with role-based fighter and sponsor accounts, detailed searchable fighter profiles, matching workflows, Stripe subscriptions, community forums, sponsor-opportunity and emergency-sponsorship boards, event submissions, placement stories, and an advertising dashboard with geographic reach and impression reporting.
