Datavault AI Inc. (NASDAQ: DVLT) announced that former Major League Baseball pitcher Dwight “Doc” Gooden has signed as a brand ambassador for Datavault NILX, the company’s name, image and likeness exchange platform. Under the agreement, Gooden will produce at least 10 original videos, participate in promotional activities and receive a share of revenue generated by his content, while Datavault AI will provide platform support, activity tracking, attribution and payment administration.
The company said NILX is designed to enable athletes and other public figures to monetize and maintain an ongoing stake in the value generated by their name, image and likeness through measurable and auditable engagement. Gooden joins the platform ahead of its commercial launch as Datavault AI continues expanding its portfolio of specialized data exchange platforms and expects to announce additional ambassador and content agreements.
This move comes as the NIL market continues to grow, with athletes and influencers seeking more transparent and sustainable ways to monetize their personal brands. Datavault AI’s platform leverages Web 3.0 technologies to provide secure, auditable tracking of content engagement and revenue attribution, addressing a key pain point in the current NIL landscape. The partnership with Gooden, a two-time World Series champion and National League Cy Young Award winner, brings significant credibility and visibility to the platform ahead of its commercial launch.
Datavault AI (NASDAQ: DVLT) is leading the way in AI-driven data experiences, valuation and monetization of assets in the Web 3.0 environment. The company’s cloud-based platform provides comprehensive solutions with a collaborative focus in its Acoustic Sciences and Data Sciences divisions. The Data Science division leverages the power of Web 3.0 and high-performance computing to provide solutions for experiential data perception, valuation and secure monetization.
The NILX platform is part of Datavault AI’s broader suite of data exchange solutions, which serve multiple industries including sports & entertainment, events & venues, biotech, education, fintech, real estate, healthcare, and energy. By signing a high-profile athlete like Gooden, Datavault AI signals its commitment to capturing a share of the rapidly expanding NIL market, which has seen explosive growth since the NCAA allowed college athletes to profit from their name, image, and likeness in 2021.
