Prepared for Las Vegas Raiders Alumni Relations
A2X Foundry proposes a paid software pilot to help Raiders alumni choose an ownership path and build a 90-day plan, with guided support along the way.
Simulation
Jordan is a fictional former defensive back who runs leadership workshops for youth teams. A former teammate has offered him an advisory role with equity. Jordan is weighing that offer against a business he could build around the workshop.
The screenshots show the A2X portal.
In the portal, Jordan identifies his workshop materials, relationships with coaches, and experience working with teams. He sets a limit on the time he can commit. The course helps him use that inventory to judge his options.
What he writes down His strongest assets and how much time he wants to spend.
Jordan compares licensing his workshop with taking equity in someone else’s company. He looks at the time each path takes, what he would control, and what he needs to learn before deciding.
What he writes down Two paths that fit his goals and the trade-offs of each.
Jordan works through a sample business offer in the course. He practices asking what role he would play, what the company expects of him, and how the equity would vest.
What he writes down Questions to take into his next conversation about the offer.
Jordan decides to test whether youth programs would pay to license his workshop. His Ownership Blueprint explains why he chose that path and what he still needs to learn. His 90-day plan gives him three steps to take.
What he takes with him A personal Ownership Blueprint and a 90-day plan he can use after the pilot.
See the plan worksheet in A2XSimulated participant output
Alumni work through the Athlete Ownership Blueprint online and bring their questions into guided cohort sessions.
Work through short lessons and knowledge checks, and use the progress tracker to see what you’ve completed.
Use cases and interactive worksheets to compare ownership paths and work through sample offers.
Ask the built-in tutor for a hint or help applying an exercise to your own goals.
Save your exercises and use them to build a personal Ownership Blueprint and a 90-day action plan.
Before kickoff, Alumni Relations can choose what alumni should learn and what work they should finish. A2X can focus the pilot on those topics, adjust the order and depth of lessons, and adapt the cases and worksheets. We can also work in Raiders-approved alumni stories and resources.
If the Raiders prioritize evaluating business offers, alumni can compare three ways to work with a potential partner. In this fictional exercise, a former teammate wants Jordan’s help with a youth program.
| Offer | What Jordan gives | What Jordan gets |
|---|---|---|
| Cash | Leads two sessions. | A set fee for the two sessions. |
| Equity | Advises the youth program for six months. | A proposed ownership stake that vests over time. |
| License | Lets the partner use the workshop materials for one season. | A fee for that limited use. |
What Jordan asks next When would the fee be paid? When would the equity vest, and what happens if the role ends early? Who can use or adapt the materials?
Proposed pilot
In this opt-in software pilot, Raiders alumni work through selected lessons and exercises in the A2X portal at their own pace. A2X leads a hands-on kickoff, answers questions between sessions, and checks in as alumni build their plans.
Allow 45–60 minutes per week for self-paced work in the portal, plus three 30-minute virtual group sessions. The group meets at kickoff in week 1, checks in during week 3, and closes out in week 6.
Log into the portal together, complete the intake, and start the first ownership exercise.
Work through short lessons and a practice case. At the week 3 check-in, share what’s working and get help where you need it.
Review the Blueprint and 90-day plan at closeout. Share feedback on which parts of the portal helped and where it could be easier to use.
Ask participants whether they took their first planned action and what support would help them keep going.
Portal access, onboarding, facilitation, participant support, a cohort report, and a 30-day follow-up. One fixed fee covers the cohort.
A program lead, an invitation to interested alumni, and feedback on the pilot at kickoff and closeout.
A cohort-level report on participation, completed Blueprints, where alumni needed support, and first actions taken. Individual plans and scores are private by default. Participants decide whether to share their own work.

We’ll show how an alum uses the platform and discuss what you want Raiders alumni to learn and produce. A2X will follow up with a scope for one paid six-week software pilot, with proposed dates, the check-in and support plan, the weekly commitment, and one fixed fee for review.
