We're building the next chapter of design at @whop and looking for a handful of exceptional designers to join us.
Message me if you're interested or know someone who'd be a great fit.
Whop has raised $200M in Series D funding at a $5.1B valuation, backed by @sequoia and @shopify.
It really feels like we are barely touching the tip of the iceberg in a market larger than anyone can imagine.
We first launched Whop as a better way for us to sell sneaker bots, one of the most niche types of desktop software out there.
Total TAM? Probably $20,000 per day.
Who cares, tiny market.
But, what people discounted is the idea that there were actually 70,000 other markets exactly like that one.
Beyond the investment itself, I am especially excited to welcome legendary silicon valley investor @dougleone to our board of directors. Doug and the sequoia team are nothing but a brilliant, resourceful, and principled group of people.
My co-founder Cameron and I started building on Shopify when we were 13 years old. Shopify is one of the most impactful all-in-one cloud ecosystems ever created; @tobi has pioneered modern entrepreneurship the way we know it and we are thrilled to have him in our corner.
We have a tenet at Whop to be the dumbest in the room and I am very grateful that this has recently become a lot easier.
We are focused on markets, scale economies, and progressive media. If that is up your alley, please message me directly.
The $200M raised will support our expansion as we build economic infrastructure for the next century, continuing on our mission of delivering everyone an income.

I've been having fun with @whop websites
In 3 hours I built 3 real businesses
📷 TG Photography - my photography shop
🤘 Bandgeeks - an app for tracking concerts w friends
🗽 N.Y.O.A.C. - a very serious sticker pack
What should I build next?

This is a once in a decade opportunity
Whop is experiencing unprecedented growth;
Daily ATHs at an astonishing YoY and MoM rate
Gross transaction volume is now pushing $20M per day
10,000 is a low day for # businesses created
# user signups are pushing 100,000 per day
Much of our offensive growth product feature set that has been under development for the last 3 months has yet to be released publicly.
Our platform is running at record high RPM and we need serious help
If you have successfully solved ML prediction problems at scale, run ultra lean legal teams, or are a designer who wants their work to make a difference, message me [email protected] with a bulleted resume
If obsessed with PNL and unit economics, with experience driving outcomes at scale, ping me as well

We’re hiring a Product Designer at Whop.
Not UX. Not design systems. Product.
– Figma native
– thinks in flows, not screens
– strong taste (type, spacing, hierarchy)
– can own large parts of the product (web + mobile)
Bonus: early startup experience.
Based in Palo Alto.

We are excited to announce that @tether, the largest stablecoin company in the world, is making a strategic investment of $200M into Whop, valuing us at $1.6B.
Our partnership with Tether marks a major step in building the world's largest internet market. Tether is committed to enabling everyone in the world to participate in the new internet economy. The way humans work and create value is changing fast. The world needs both an open internet market giving people a platform to conduct business, as well as a transparent payments network.
Tether and Whop together will work to bring a sustainable income to billions of people throughout the world. There is enormous opportunity when you combine Tether’s global scale and wallet technology with Whop’s community of next generation entrepreneurs.
My co-founders and I met as teenagers on the internet selling software. We first launched Whop as a way for us to sell our own software to people in Facebook and Discord forums. Prior to Whop, the place we found customers was different from the place we collected payments, different from the place we talked to customers, and there wasn’t a central place to “do business” on the internet.
In partnership with Tether, we will be scaling infrastructure in real-time for new business models as they emerge across the globe.
The job is just getting started.

If you put the Apple icons in reverse it looks like the portfolio of someone getting really really good at icon design
