O1DMatch moves elite foreign talent into U.S. roles on the O-1 visa — without the employer carrying the visa burden. It runs on a marquee track record and federal litigation precedent no competitor can hire. A small circle of athlete- and celebrity-backed funds gets in early.
$500K round · $25K minimum · $6M post-money cap · SAFE
The funds that grasp the power of flexible work authorization — a structure that lets the best talent apply their craft for multiple employers at once, including for the athletes and entertainers who hire them.
Many of you moved across borders yourselves — often on the exact visa we file. You don’t need the problem explained.
The agent-based O-1 lets top talent work for several employers at once — including the athletes and entertainers who hire them. That optionality is the product.
You have allocators on staff who recognize a real deal in their lane and write a $25K–$200K check fast.
Two assets sit under this company that money cannot buy and a new entrant cannot replicate.
For more than a decade, founder Sherrod Seward has done this exact agent-based O-1 work for the highest tier of global talent — Team Canelo, Top Rank Boxing, Tyson Fury’s management, Pacquiao’s MP Promotions, the Las Vegas Raiders, the Green Bay Packers, the LA Chargers, the NBA G League, NASCAR teams, and ONE Championship.
That reputation is earned trust no competitor can buy or hire. It is the front door to a market that runs on relationships.
Sherrod has litigated agent-petitioned O-1A and O-1B matters in federal court and helped set the precedent the entire structure depends on. This is the law the marketplace runs on — written, in part, by the founder.
For an investor, that means the founder owns the rails, not just a process — a defensible legal moat, not a workflow a faster team can copy.
Two-sided and live today. Watch the real product — the talent side and the employer side, end to end.
Elite athletes and entertainers were the wedge — the highest-stakes proof that the structure works. The same machine moves any extraordinary talent into any industry.
