We started because buying Funko Pops on eBay was boring and full of fakes. Live selling fixes both problems — you see the item, you see the seller, and the energy is addictive.
Our top sellers make six figures a month opening Pokémon card packs on camera. That sentence would have made zero sense five years ago.
Live commerce is already a $500 billion market in China. The US is years behind. We're not creating a new behavior — we're importing one that already works.
eBay is a search engine for products. We're entertainment that happens to sell things. People watch Whatnot for fun. Buying is the bonus.
Authentication was table stakes for us from day one. If someone buys a $500 Pokémon card on our platform, it better be real. Trust is the product.
