Bio

Founder Profile


I'm the domain expert and product architect behind AVTM (Athlete Value–Trusted Media).
AVTM represents more than an acronym—it is a valuation methodology built on the principle that accurate athlete valuation requires the convergence of athlete value, trusted information, and media in its broadest sense. Within AVTM, **media** refers to any channel, platform, tool, or source used to store, transmit, verify, or deliver information and data. Trusted Media is the foundation for producing valuations that are transparent, explainable, auditable, and defensible.
I've developed the core valuation framework, commercial intelligence methodology, market thesis, and long-term product vision for a platform designed to become the decision intelligence system for athlete value. By integrating performance data, trusted information sources, sponsorship intelligence, recruiting information, commercial analytics, media signals, and market intelligence, AVTM seeks to transform fragmented information into reliable, actionable athlete valuations.
I'm looking for a Technical Co-Founder who can partner with me to transform that vision into a scalable, enterprise-grade SaaS platform. This is not simply a software build—it's an opportunity to help create a new category at the intersection of sports technology, artificial intelligence, data science, commercial intelligence, and trusted valuation.

Ken Robinson is the founder of Pro Ownership and AVC-100, an emerging athlete value infrastructure initiative focused on standardizing how athlete value is measured across trust, media credibility, governance, performance-related inputs, and sponsorship efficiency.
His work sits at the intersection of sports, media, athlete monetization, and valuation systems, with a focus on building a more intelligent and reliable decision layer for the athlete economy.
Rather than approaching the market as a traditional NIL marketplace or endorsement brokerage model, he is developing a framework-driven platform designed to support future analytics, licensing, and commercial applications.
Ken’s background includes experience in sports scouting ,coaching and recruiting, marketing, athlete development, and strategic relationship-building, which informs his broader view of how value is created, measured, and commercialized in sports.
He is currently focused on shaping Pro Ownership into a scalable infrastructure opportunity within the evolving NIL and pro athlete data landscape.
