It has been less than 10 years since Rich Paul decided to leave Creative Artists Agency (CAA) and start Klutch Sports, bringing his longtime friend and business partner, LeBron James, as his primary client. But what began as a venture with two close friends has ballooned into a global sports empire, becoming a leading force in the sports talent world.
Klutch Sports is now mentioned in the same breath as Wasserman and CAA. It even landed a major investment from United Talent Agency last season to help UTA branch out its sports division. During that time, Klutch has expanded from the NBA to the NFL and MLB. Its growth even caught the eye of Time Magazine, which named it one of the 100 most influential companies of 2021 in the latest edition of the annual list.

Klutch Sports continues to raise the bar across the realm of sports representation and they have continued to grow, adding likely top picks in the upcoming NFL and NBA drafts.
