Guild Esports PLC (previously The Lords Esports) is a United Kingdom-based professional esports company founded in 2019. The company is co-owned by former professional football player David Beckham and launched globally in June 2020. Guild Esports was the first esports firm to be publicly traded in the United Kingdom. The organisation has competitive teams in Apex Legends, FIFA, Fortnite, Rocket League, and Valorant. The Guild Esports was founded in September 2019 under the name The Lords Esports. Later that year, the company sold 11.7% of its shares to investment firm Blue Star Capital for £150,000 (US$195,000). In June 2020, The Lords Esports raised an additional £5 million (US$6.5 M) in private funding, with former professional football player David Beckham acquiring a "significant minority stake" in the company, and rebranded to Guild Esports. The company made its shares available through its initial public offering (IPO) on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) in September 2020, making Guild Esports the first publicly traded esports organization on the LSE, and raised £20 million (US$27.4 M) through the IPO.
