Jack Adler
Jack Adler joined Dr. John M. Torrens on The Total Entrepreneur for one episode on business.
What Jack talked about
Jack Adler discussed pivoting his NIL (name, image, likeness) agency into Out2Win, an AI-driven platform for evaluating athletes as marketers, after concluding that brands lacked the data to judge athletes beyond their performance on the field. He described the shift as driven by market feedback rather than a fixed plan, saying he tried to stay open-minded and recognize patterns in what people told him instead of holding onto his original idea.
He talked about raising a pre-revenue seed round and later a $1.3M round from angel investors, arguing that storytelling and what he called 'vision dumping' mattered more than metrics at that stage since it's what gets people to buy in. He also discussed running a remote team as a student founder and the routines he relies on to manage the pressure of the role, including morning workouts, consistent sleep, and staying close to a small group of people.
