Join the League
Capital Forge League is a Florida 501(c)(3) nonprofit where students, athletes, and veterans don’t watch from the stands — they build real ventures inside a stadium competition. Teams compete across Game Day and the Stadium Experience with mentorship, curriculum, and NIL literacy — CFL takes no equity. Pick a role below to enter the stadium.
Membership includes stadium access, Game Day, mentorship, and a shot at the curriculum. Fan is the stadium minimum. Mentor, coach, instructor, team member, athlete, and NIL seats take a driver’s license or government ID — we will not raise money in a name we have not verified.

Current team projects
Live competition projects. Join a team, earn yard points, and compete for capital. Four labs on the field today. CFL takes no equity — every one of these is an education lab, not a clinic.
OpenPatent pending · CFL ownedThe Helmet Nobody Checked
A certification sticker expires from the day a helmet was made — not from the hits it took since. Two identical lids can hang in the same locker; only one may still be the helmet that was certified. Capital Forge League’s patent-pending research builds the missing step: a non-contact, in-service inspection screen that helps answer keep it, retire it, or look closer — plus a path to impact marking and a tamper-evident history that follows the helmet across owners and seasons.
Patent pending · Inspection process assigned to Capital Forge, Inc. · CFL is a Florida 501(c)(3). Student and university learning teams join under coach supervision — they do not take the patent.

Pre-validation research. Service fitness only — no injury-prevention claims.
Thermal Suture Cutter (TSC)
openSports Medicine · Orthopedics
A heated filament device that ruptures sutures without tension on the skin, turning a dreaded clinic experience into a fast, painless step in athlete recovery. Built and scored inside CFL's education lab — not a clinical product, and not a substitute for one.
- Thermally ruptures sutures instead of cutting under tension, dramatically reducing pain
- Works with high-tensile strength sutures common in sports medicine procedures
- Lowers stress for athletes, trainers, and nurses in post-op and clinic environments
- Designed for high-volume sports medicine and orthopedic practice

BIOMAG — bio-absorbable metal anchors
openSports Medicine
Bio-absorbable metal anchors that do the job during recovery, then break down instead of staying in the body as permanent hardware — one less procedure, one less scar, one less piece of metal an athlete carries for life. Education lab. No injury-prevention claims.
- Bio-absorbable — no second surgery to remove the hardware
- Lowers repeat-surgery risk compared to permanent anchors
- Screening literacy: teaches teams to read what the imaging actually shows
- Education lab — not a clinic, no injury-prevention claims
