Sorare
Paris, France · StartupSorare is a Paris-based fantasy sports and digital collectibles platform founded in 2018 by Nicolas Julia and Adrien Montfort. The platform lets users collect officially licensed digital player cards and compete in fantasy football, basketball, and baseball leagues. Sorare holds partnerships with over 300 sports organizations including the Premier League, NBA, MLB, and LaLiga. The company raised $680 million in its Series B led by SoftBank in 2021, reaching a valuation of $4.3 billion. Despite the broader NFT market downturn, Sorare has maintained its position by focusing on gaming utility rather than pure speculation. It operates from Paris with a major commercial office in London serving UK sports partnerships.
