Founded in Paris three years ago, Sorare’s valuation has grown from $270m to $4.3b. Japanese multinational conglomerate SoftBank led its latest round of funding in September. According to co-founder and CEO Nicholas Julia, half a million users joined the platform organically, without any marketing.
