Dam Nation Collective - Oregon State Beavers Collective

Founded in November 2022, Dam Nation was proclaimed by Oregon State University as the “preferred collective of Oregon State Athletics.” Dam Nation leaders say they have an “authentic and bold mission of providing opportunities for OSU’s student-athletes and teams while educating and executing the right way.” The organization is a one-stop shop for all Beaver student-athletes and teams to create, optimize and promote their brand and NIL opportunities through key partnerships with investors, including OSU alumni, fans and business partners. Dam Nation will work with student-athletes and teams on various opportunities that may be local, regional or national in scope. “Intercollegiate athletics is always evolving, and the NIL space is a perfect example of that,” said Dam Nation Co-Founder Kyle Bjornstad. “The core of Dam Nation’s philosophy is to create a platform for OSU’s student-athletes and teams to succeed in life, and we will do so by providing them with intentional and meaningful opportunities. The foundation which Dam Nation is built upon is not just these opportunities, but we will also provide student-athletes and teams with education so that they can better utilize these tools.”
