What does Whop actually do?
xitter.cf/cultured/status/211292…
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.

RIP Uber. Robotaxi and other self-driving services are going to be absolutely massive.

Mad that this is a $10,000 car

Bangkok still #1 for digital nomads as per nomads .com newsletter

Foursquare was sold and employees/investors got nothing.
For every billion dollar VC exit there's a gazillion that go to zero for everyone involved it seems.
I think the problem lies with the fact that VC's want exits, meanwhile founders want to build forever..

European: “Before we can proceed we must first establish a cross-border multi-stakeholder working group to conduct a comprehensive impact assessment, align on the appropriate regulatory framework, ensure full compliance with all existing and forthcoming directives, and secure consensus from every relevant authority. This will require extensive stakeholder consultations across public and private sectors, a detailed mapping of the full regulatory landscape in every jurisdiction, the development of a robust and transparent governance structure, independent third-party reviews, multiple rounds of public consultation, the preparation of supporting documentation and risk analyses, and final unanimous sign-off from every competent body and supervisory authority before any further discussion or action can be considered.”
American: “Fuck it, let's ship it!”
Struggling founders:
You’ve built real assets, but not real income OR you’re not where you want to be.
But you're still a founder. Never forget that.
