Build the audience. Keep the federation.
HELIOS is the international rights holder for emerging baseball and softball federations. We design the kits, build the merch line, run the international broadcast, and produce the editorial — and every dollar pays back to the federation under a royalty-backed agreement.
What a HELIOS partnership looks like.
Federation-first international rights partnership, structured around three pillars: international merchandise (jerseys and hats, full-dye sublimated, distributed worldwide), international broadcast and streaming, and episodic content (player and team spotlights, season-long editorial).
Domestic rights — Uganda, your country — stay entirely with you. We never sell into the home market, and we never license federation marks back to a domestic distributor without federation consent.
What the federation receives.
- Royalties on every category of international revenue — merchandise, broadcast, and content — at rates agreed federation by federation.
- Minimum Annual Guarantee on top, paid to the federation regardless of category mix.
- Approval rights on every kit design, every broadcast, every story.
- All payments route to a federation-controlled account — never to any officer personally. Anti-corruption clause is mutual and binding.
- Performance minimums — guaranteed livestreams, episodic content, and apparel collections every year, scaling up annually.
- Players keep their NIL. We do not capture, license, or restrict any individual player's name, image, or likeness.
The federations we work with.
HELIOS is built for federations that:
- Operate a sanctioned national league with multiple clubs.
- Hold their own commercial and broadcast rights (or are the rights-holder for their member clubs).
- Have international audience potential their domestic infrastructure can't reach alone.
- Want a long-term partner who invests in audience growth, not a transactional kit supplier.
- Operate cleanly and expect cleanly — no personal sweeteners, no off-books payments.
Drop 01 is the Uganda Baseball and Softball Association. Drop 02 will be announced once we've delivered Drop 01 properly.
