Our Journey

Sorare was founded by Nicolas Julia and Adrien Montfort in 2018 in Paris to bring sports fans across the globe closer to the players, teams, and leagues they love.

With 130-plus employees across France and US, Sorare is one of Europe’s fastest-growing startups and recently raised a $680 million Series B funding round from world-class investors including SoftBank, Accel, and Benchmark. Sorare also has athletes Serena Williams, Zinedine Zidane, Rio Ferdinand, Antoine Griezmann, Gerard Piqué, Blake Griffin, and Rudy Gobert among its investors, ambassadors, and advisors.

Our Values

• Own your game: Think and act like an owner, and expect your teammates to do the same. You are an “entrepreneur” empowered to make decisions and own the outcomes.

• Build with the fans, and for the fans: Have an obsession for high-quality user experiences. Engage our community with transparency to build trust and learn from the fans to deliver effective changes.

• Run fast: Take bold risks and outpace the competition in an ever changing environment. Have a bias for action (connected to team goals) and strive to ship and iterate.

• Have fun and bring joy: Sports have the power to unite people around the world, and as fans ourselves, we believe it is a privilege to work in this industry.

• Win as a team: We are all in this together as one team, win or lose. Inspire your teammates to always be better.
