Adi Kunalic

Co-Founder/COO @ Opendorse

About

I’m the Co-Founder and COO of Opendorse, the leader in NIL tech and athlete endorsements. Over a decade, we’ve built a platform connecting athletes, brands, and organizations, shaping the athlete influencer space and driving hundreds of millions in transactions. Today, we partner with 200+ colleges and support 150,000 student-athletes in maximizing their NIL potential. I’m passionate about solving complex problems, building strong teams, and innovating at the sports-tech intersection. Before Opendorse, I co-founded Hurrdat, a media agency acquired in 2014. A Nebraska student-athlete turned first Bosnian-born NFL player, I’ve learned over 15+ years as an entrepreneur that preparation drives confidence, focus sharpens execution, and persistence wins. I’m grateful for the work I get to do every day, the people I get to do it with, and the chance to keep making a difference.
