Datavault AI (NASDAQ: DVLT) announced Tuesday that former Major League Baseball star Darryl Strawberry has signed as a brand ambassador for Datavault NIL Vault (“NILv”), the company’s upcoming name, image and likeness (“NIL”) exchange platform. Under a services agreement, Strawberry will create promotional content, participate in marketing initiatives and share in revenue generated through his content, while Datavault AI will provide platform support, activity tracking and revenue attribution.
The company said NIL Vault is designed to enable athletes and other public figures to measure, monetize and retain an ongoing interest in the value generated by their name, image and likeness.

Datavault AI is leading the way in AI-driven data experiences, valuation and monetization of assets in the Web 3.0 environment. The Company’s cloud-based platform provides comprehensive solutions with a collaborative focus in its Acoustic Sciences and Data Sciences divisions. The Data Science division leverages the power of Web 3.0 and high-performance computing to provide solutions for experiential data perception, valuation and secure monetization. The Information Data Exchange enables Digital Twins and the licensing of name, image and likeness by securely attaching physical real-world objects to immutable metadata, fostering responsible AI with integrity.
This announcement underscores the growing importance of NIL rights in the sports and entertainment industry, as platforms like NIL Vault aim to provide a structured marketplace for athletes to monetize their personal brands. By signing a high-profile figure like Darryl Strawberry, Datavault AI signals its commitment to attracting prominent talent to its platform, which could set a precedent for how NIL assets are traded and valued in the digital economy.
The move also reflects broader trends in the Web 3.0 space, where blockchain and AI technologies are being used to create verifiable and tradable digital assets. For investors, the partnership may indicate Datavault AI's potential to capture a share of the rapidly expanding NIL market, which has grown significantly since the NCAA's policy changes in 2021. However, the success of the NIL Vault platform will depend on its ability to attract a critical mass of users and maintain transparent revenue attribution.
