Riding the NFT wave: New funding for SorareData

SorareData, the go-to data platform for all ambitious Sorare gamers, receives a cash injection.

The fact that non-fungible tokens (NFT) attract capital should also be clear to the last market watcher since the legendary million-dollar coup of Beeples “Everydays: The First 5000 Days”. Ethereum as the number one NFT vehicle also accommodates the hype surrounding digital collectibles. The second largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization is even stalking a new all-time high these days; more about this here.

One of the winners of the NFT hype is undoubtedly Sorare. This is a platform on which users: Inside can exchange digital football pictures and thus develop into top managers. The highlight: The pictures are strictly limited. Contrary to what is usual in the digital world, Lewandowski, Lukaku and Co. cannot simply be copied, but have to be exchanged for bare ether. The platform differentiates between four levels of rarity: “Limited”, “Rare”, “Super Rare” and “Unique”.

Included Sorare Real financial resources are part of the game, some managers leave nothing to chance and get data-driven support for team optimization. SorareData, a data platform founded by Maxime Hagenbourger in 2020, which hosts Sorare in-game data, helps here. According to the company, eight out of ten active Sorare players are registered on SoraraData.

SorareData with growth ambitions

As BTC-ECHO has exclusively learned, SorareData is fully committed to growth and was able to bag a 700,000 US dollar funding round. Seedcamp sponsored the lion’s share. According to reports, the newly gained capital will primarily flow into the strengthening of the developer team.


Maxime Hagenbourger can be quoted as follows:

I am thrilled that such inspiring and successful investors are joining me on this incredible journey. Gamers will increasingly look to companion apps to enhance their gaming experience. We love helping players succeed wherever they play.

Germany, which is based in France, is one of its core markets. We were informed by email that “the German Sorare community is one of the strongest”.

In general, things are going on at Sorare these days. On the one hand, the general trend towards digital collectibles naturally helps with growth. On the other hand, the Paris-based company never tires of getting new licenses on board again and again. Most recently, Sorare was able to license the starting eleven of the national soccer teams (men) of France and Belgium. So if you have always wanted to call the digital likeness of Kylian Mbappé your own, you can now place your bids. But be careful: every goal increases the market value of the French goalscorer.
