YC rejected Whop in fall 2021 batch, but there was a better program that accepted Whop and that was Z Fellows.

Cory was the first check in Whop, has been by our side through it all, and joined our board when it was formed.

looking through my camera roll and realized I have hundreds of photos from the last 5 years with the Whop crew.

different offices, apartments turned offices, and random cities where makeshift offices were found.

funny thing is y'alls Z Fellows acceptance email went to spam. ed to checked spam 😂. now some Z Fellows founders are building businesses on Whop.

thinking back to our first meeting and everything it took to get here… I don’t think I tell you guys enough how proud I am of you.

best part of all of this is you guys became some of my closest friends.

congrats to the whole team on the raise. love you guys!

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, ypes 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.
