Sorare funding rounds
| Date | Stage | Investors | Raised | Valuation | Deal Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sep 2026 | Undisclosed stage | Benchmark Electronics; Partech; Kibo Ventures; Accel | - | - | Sorare raised a new funding round in September 2026 backed by Benchmark, Accel, Partech, and Kibo Ventures, with founders also investing personally. The company described the financing as an eight-figure round, and the first tranche was completed with a second tranche expected in the following weeks or months; the stated purpose was to secure treasury and support the company’s next phase of execution. The round came from Sorare’s long-time investors rather than new institutional backers, and it was framed as a renewal of long-term conviction. The company indicated that the financing was tied to near-term product and commercial milestones, including new card releases, an Arcade Set launch, the NBA’s return in October, and the upcoming Snatch product, while also supporting a longer path toward profitability by the end of 2027. Sorare is a French fantasy sports and digital collectibles platform that has partnered with more than 100 football clubs, issued more than 100,000 cards, and reported more than 15,000 managers trading cards for more than $20 million in primary and secondary market value. |
| Sep 2021 | Series B | SoftBank Group (lead) | $680M | $4.3B | Sorare is a French blockchain-based fantasy sports platform founded in 2018 that allows users to buy, sell, and trade NFT player cards from leading football clubs in virtual tournaments. The company completed a record $680 million Series B funding round on September 21, 2021, led by SoftBank's Vision Fund 2 and Latin America Fund, valuing Sorare at $4.3 billion post-money and marking the largest Series B in Europe and French tech history. Other investors included Accel, Benchmark, Headline, Atomico, D1 Capital, Bessemer Ventures, Eurazeo, IVP, Hillhouse, Liontree, and footballers like Gerard Piqué, Antoine Griezmann, and Rio Ferdinand. By the round date, Sorare had achieved $150 million in revenues year-to-date 2021, according to CEO Nicolas Julia, amid an NFT boom, with over 600,000 registered users and trading volume exceeding $150 million since the start of 2021. The platform partnered with 175-180 football clubs including Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund, and recently La Liga, creating a strong moat through official licensing. This followed a $50 million Series A in February 2021 led by Benchmark. Funds from the round were allocated to open a U.S. office, expand into new sports beyond football, develop a mobile app, hire talent, invest in marketing, and secure additional league partnerships like potentially the EPL and top 20 global football leagues. Sorare positioned itself to bring NFTs to mainstream sports fans, drawing parallels to NBA Top Shot's success. One source mentioned a $3.8 billion valuation, but the majority including press releases and TechCrunch confirm $4.3 billion. |
| Feb 2021 | Series A | Benchmark (lead); Ambel; Go4it Capital; Archimedia; Gary Vaynerchuk; Hedosophia; Rio Ferdinand; Alexis Ohanian; Accel; Headline; Antoine Griezmann | $48M | - | Sorare is a fantasy sports platform built on blockchain where users collect, trade, and manage digital cards of professional football players, with cards minted as non-fungible tokens on Ethereum. The platform generated revenue primarily through primary market card sales, with plans to eventually monetize secondary market transactions. In February 2021, Sorare raised $50 million in its Series A funding round led by Benchmark, with participation from notable investors including Accel, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk, footballer Antoine Griezmann, and others. The round was used to accelerate hiring, onboard top football leagues, and launch a mobile application. At the time of the February 2021 Series A, the company's post-money valuation was not publicly disclosed. The platform demonstrated rapid growth during this period, with trading volume increasing from approximately $60,000 in January 2020 to $4.2 million in January 2021, and reaching over $13 million by February 2021, alongside user growth from 55,000 to 80,000 users. By September 2021, just seven months after the Series A, Sorare completed its Series B at a $4.3 billion valuation after raising $680 million led by SoftBank, indicating the company's dramatic valuation increase during this period. At the time of the Series B announcement in April 2022, annualized revenues were reported at approximately €240 million, implying a roughly 15x revenue multiple on the Series B valuation. |
| Jul 2020 | Seed | Headline (lead) | $10M | - | Sorare raised $10 million in a seed round in July 2020 led by Headline, with participation from investors including Semantic Ventures, Presight Capital, MPGI, and Cygni Capital. The funding supported team expansion and platform enhancements for its blockchain-based fantasy football game using NFTs. This followed a pre-seed round of $550,000 in May 2019 led by Kima Ventures and Seedcamp to develop the initial platform. Sorare's platform features digital collectible cards of football players as NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain, allowing users to buy, sell, and use them in fantasy games. Partnerships with football clubs provided official cards, driving platform growth with 120 clubs releasing digital cards by the seed round close. Gerard Piqué served as a strategic advisor, highlighting the game's real-world impact in connecting fans with clubs and leagues. Subsequent rounds included a $50 million Series A in February 2021 led by Benchmark and a $680 million Series B in September 2021 led by SoftBank's Vision Fund 2 at a $4.3 billion valuation, bringing total funding to approximately $740 million. |
