Louis Saha's AxisStars company reaches $4.3 billion valuation

Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha has founded a company, AxisStars, which is now valued at $4.3 billion. Founded in 2013 alongside entrepreneur Kate Hamer shortly after his retirement from professional football, the digital platform serves over 500 clients within the sports and entertainment sectors.

Saha, who played for Manchester United between 2004 and 2008, developed the idea for the platform following the publication of his memoir, ‘Thinking Inside the Box’. He expressed a desire to create a digital channel to assist young professionals in building careers across various industries, choosing a scalable digital model over traditional roles such as coaching or management.
