Today, Whop facilitates over $3 billion in annual payouts to people in 144 countries. Growth continues to accelerate, with gross transaction volume increasing roughly 25% month over month. 

Whop has raised hundreds of millions from institutional investors like Insight, Bain Capital Ventures, A*, and Peter Thiel — including a recent strategic investment from Tether, the largest stablecoin company in the world.

Our current team is made up of young, passionate entrepreneurs who grew up on the internet — over 75% built a business before joining Whop, including 53 former founders and 30 who scaled past $1M in revenue. Product leadership includes backgrounds from Meta and Robinhood.

You are a person who craves impact. You want to leave a (big) dent on the world. You are generally disappointed in the bar held by most people everyday. You feel smarter than everyone around you, yet that doesn’t make you happy – it makes you sad that you aren’t being pushed to think hard enough. You drive towards simplicity and expect others to do the same.

The customer you are building for should be thought of as other client-side developers on our team consuming our API.
