How SponsorBound works

Tell us about your event once. We find the brands that fit your audience and hand you the contacts to reach them. On plans that include outreach, every brand also comes with a first email written for you.

The short version

You describe your event. We research sponsors that match your audience and send you a report with their contact details and social accounts. On plans that include outreach, every brand also comes with a written first email you can send.

No blank spreadsheet, no guessing at which companies might care. The research is done for you, and the outreach can be too, so a job that used to take days takes minutes of your attention.

Step by step

Tell us about your event

Name, date, and location, plus who attends and what a sponsor gets. The more you share about your audience, the sharper the matches. It takes a couple of minutes, and you only do it once per event.

We match sponsors to your audience

This is the core of SponsorBound. Instead of pulling a generic company list, we reason about who is actually in your room and find brands that want to reach exactly those people, including strong fits you'd never think to look for. You can steer how far we range, closest-fit brands only, or a wider net across adjacent categories.

You get your sponsor report

A shortlist of matched brands, each with contact details and social accounts. On plans that include outreach, every brand also comes with a written first email personalized to your event. Everything lands in one clean report, no dashboards to learn.

You reach out and close

Reach out with the contacts we hand you. If your plan includes outreach, the first email is already written, send it as-is, tweak it to your voice, or warm brands up on social first. Either way, you stay in control of every conversation.

What's in your report

Every SponsorBound report is built to be acted on, not just read. You get:

  • Event-matched sponsor leads: brands chosen for your audience, not a generic export.
  • Contact details for each brand: so you can actually reach them.
  • Social media accounts for each brand: so you can warm them up before you pitch.
  • A written first email per brand: included on plans with outreach, personalized and ready to send.
  • Delivered as a clean report: everything in one place, ready the same day during beta.

What makes the matches good

Matched, not generic

A sponsorship database hands you thousands of companies and leaves the matching to you. SponsorBound does the matching, choosing brands for your specific audience and event, so the list is short, relevant, and worth working.

Ready to act on

Every match comes with a contact, and on outreach plans a written first email, so you're not handed a name and left to figure out the rest.

Tuned to how specific you want to be

Want only brands in your obvious category, or a wider net that reaches your audience from unexpected angles? You choose the range, and whether to focus on local, regional, or nationwide sponsors.

The first email, written for you

Every brand comes with a first email already written. Not a template with your event name swapped in, but a pitch built from your audience and why that specific brand fits it. Send it as-is, edit it to your voice, or use it as a starting point. Included on plans with outreach.

Personalized for IronForge · audience-matched

Hi Marcus,

I run partnerships for the National Fitness & Strength Expo, two days this October with around 15,000 attendees, most of them serious lifters and home-gym builders actively buying equipment. That's exactly who IronForge is built for.

We don't have a home-gym equipment partner locked yet, and the fit is obvious: a hands-on demo floor where people actually load the racks, plus the buyers who leave an expo like this ready to kit out a garage gym.

Not pitching a package yet. I'd rather hear what a partnership looks like from your side and see if there's something worth building together this year.

Open to a quick call next week?

Best,
Jordan

Frequently asked questions

How does SponsorBound work?

You tell us about your event and audience. We research and match brands that want to reach that audience, then hand you a shortlist with contact details and social accounts for each. On plans that include outreach, every brand also comes with a written first email. You submit once and get a report you can act on.

How does SponsorBound find sponsors?

We reason about who actually attends your event and find brands that want to reach those people, rather than exporting a generic company directory. You can steer how far the matching ranges and whether it focuses on local, regional, or nationwide sponsors.

How long does it take to get my sponsor matches?

You submit your event in a couple of minutes. We prepare your matched report and let you know when it's ready, usually within a day during beta.

What do I actually receive?

A report with a shortlist of matched brands, plus contact details and social accounts for each. On plans that include outreach, you also get a written first email per brand that you can send as-is or edit.

Do I have to use the emails?

If your plan includes outreach, the written first email for each brand is a ready-to-send starting point. Send it as-is, edit it to your voice, or write your own. You are never required to use it.

How much does it cost?

SponsorBound is free while we're in beta, no card required. Paid plans arrive at launch, and beta users get founder pricing.
