Sponsorship

ZIPP Speed Weaponry offers sponsorship opportunities to individual athletes and teams. It may not look like it these days, but ZIPP is essentially a small family run business. While our pockets aren't deep, we love triathlon and cycling and have a sense of gratitude to the sports that have given us so much. For this reason ZIPP offers sponsorship opportunities from the grassroots to the highest level of the sport. We have a particular fondness for the regular folks like ourselves. From age 14 to our oldest ever sponsored cyclist at 85 years young, we are proud to have helped hundreds of athletes achieve their goals. Due to the number of requests for sponsorship and our limited resources, we ask that you use the following guidelines:

• To apply for sponsorship:
  • Sponsorships are accepted from October 1st through November 30th of the same year. We evaluate these during December, and will reply via email before the end of January the following year. Late applications will not be accepted. All current sponsored athletes MUST reapply every year.
  • You must supply a brief athletic individual or team resume of no more than two pages in length.
  • Some brief personal information about your or your team. As stated before, we want good people as well as good athletes!
  • Teams should provide a single contact and a shop affiliation if any.
  • The resume must include complete contact information including name, address, and phone and email information. Resumes that do not include accurate contact information will be discarded.
  • We do not accept sponsorship applications via email or online chat. Sorry, but due to the large number of "spam" requests only hard-copy applications will be considered.
• What else you should know:
  • Be realistic in your expectations. As a small company and to stretch our limited sponsorship resources, Zipp offers almost no free product and no monetary sponsorships. Most sponsorship opportunities are in the form of Pro Deal discount.
  • Tell Zipp what you can do for us! We get an astounding amount of interest in sponsorship. What makes you different? Why are you better for us than the next guy or gal? Most importantly – how will our sponsorship of you result in increased sales at the retail level?
  • Zipp is not easy to receive sponsorship from. We are looking for individuals and teams we can welcome to the family and have a long-term relationship with. From all of us here at Zipp, thank you for your interest and support. Have fun and good luck. We look forward to hearing from you.
