Alex Kerr is the CEO and founder of Trajektory, a Chicago-based sponsorship analytics platform he started in 2020 to fix the broken, incomplete data that sports rights holders and brands relied on to value their partnerships.

In May 2026 the company raised $8 million to expand its engineering, sales, and AI capabilities.
