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.

the rise of traders as celebrities makes a lot of sense to me most people can't realistically become the next LeBron, but they can learn how to trade from someone who started out just like them that relatability, combined with the potential to make money, creates a different kind of connection between traders and their audiences i expect that to become a bigger part of the social trading

our strong points are: 1. built a good reputation over the past 5 years 2. the $REKT community itself is already 5 years old 3. we have "died" and come back multiple times with the same community benefitting each time by design these things don't happen overnight, but i have no reason to believe we can't do it again, and at the very least u know we will try and give it our all
