FinalRep is a private non-profit organization with the purpose to promote the Streetlifting and Calisthenics sport worldwide. This is done by maintaining a global competition system including event coordination, organization of a doping testing system and provision of a digital structure for everyone.
Since FinalRep was founded in 2020 it exclusively operated on internal resources. In the first 3 years of operation, FinalRep‘s only income sources were related to events that were self-organised. During this time we managed to make at least enough money from the events to pay the basic operational costs for a company in Germany (accounting, insurances, bank fees, etc). In 2024 with starting a worldwide competition network, a new income source emerged with the collaboration fees and equipment licensing. Now we were also able to cover the basic costs of our IT infrastructure for the development of the FinalRep app (before it was covered from private financial resources). By today (2026) FinalRep still operated solely on internal and voluntary resources. The company is led with full-time work effort by Tim Reichel (Operations) and Carsten Seeger (Software Development) without a sufficient financial compensation to cover basic personal expenses. Additionally, the project more and more lives from the voluntary efforts of people worldwide.
The core funding of FinalRep is and will always be the operating income from events, sponsorings, licenses and education offers.
These income streams are purposefully designed to be aligned with the main goal to grow and professionalis the sport. To be able to keep this alignment we are solely focusing on creating offers and values that are relevant to our community. For ourselves as an organization and for the leaders in this sport worldwide, it is our clear-set goal to create solid business structures, where the people that actively work in the sport and thus create substantial value, will be able to live from it. As we have experienced in the last 6 years, this is a long-term vision with a long run-up. And by today we can say that it still takes time. We are sharing these insights with the following vision:
Creating a global sport ecosystem is a huge project that offers even more opportunities for you to join our vision and become part of this movement. Here are the main ways how you can support:
The more resources we have, the more we can invest in the sport. Here are the main channels where we do invest our resources:
