A company building the tool sponsorship was missing
Zephlo is a company with one focus: software for the people who run sponsorship at sports clubs. The idea is simple. The commercial side of sponsorship runs on spreadsheets, inboxes and goodwill — and the moment a sponsor asks what they got for their money, nobody can answer quickly. That's the problem worth solving: not selling the deal, proving it.
It's a founder-led company on a straightforward B2B model — one subscription per club. We stay close to the problem and lean on real depth: a founder with hands-on experience in the field, backed by a mentor with over twelve years in sponsorship keeping the product honest. We're building it in the open, and looking for the first pilot clubs to build it with — one at a time.
Evidence first
If it isn't timestamped, it didn't happen. Every claim in the product traces back to proof.
Built with clubs
Every feature starts from a real Monday-morning problem at a club, not a roadmap written in advance.
Quiet software
No dashboards for the sake of dashboards. Zephlo speaks up when a renewal is at risk and stays out of the way otherwise.
From the founder
“I'm a founder and a student, close enough to sponsorship to feel how broken the tooling is — and I've got a mentor with twelve years in the field keeping me honest. Zephlo is the tool clubs should have had all along. If it saves your club one relationship a season, it's done its job. Tell me what's missing — I read every request myself.”

The team
Small on purpose
Zephlo is a one-person company right now — so yes, all three of these are the same desk: founder, builder, and the person who'll actually answer your email.
