Nicolas Julia is Co-founder and CEO of Sorare, a Paris-based blockchain gaming company he founded in December 2018. His stated goal is to create the global leader in sports entertainment by enabling fans to own digital player cards, build teams, and compete in fantasy sports competitions. Sorare raised a $680 million Series B round in 2021, valuing the company at $4.3 billion, and has secured partnerships with over 400 sports organisations including the NBA, MLB, Premier League, LaLiga, and Bundesliga. The company has expanded into the US market and operates across football, basketball, and baseball.

Julia built Sorare around the use of NFTs to represent player cards, creating a model in which digital ownership is tied to real-world sports performance. Before founding Sorare, he served as VP of Operations at Stratumn, a blockchain technology company, from 2016 to 2018. Prior to that, he co-founded La Javaness in 2015, and before entering the tech sector worked as a Senior Consultant at Eurogroup Consulting France from 2010 to 2014, and earlier as an M&A analyst at Rothschild. He holds an MSc in Management from Ecole de Management de Lyon, completed an exchange semester in Economics at Hanken School of Economics in 2009, and attended Lycée Saliège for his classe préparatoire in the economic track.
