You can never trust a compliment from a waiter

We are excited to announce that @tether, the largest stablecoin company in the world, is making a strategic investment of $200M into Whop, valuing us at $1.6B. Our partnership with Tether marks a major step in building the world's largest internet market. Tether is committed to enabling everyone in the world to participate in the new internet economy. The way humans work and create value is changing fast. The world needs both an open internet market giving people a platform to conduct business, as well as a transparent payments network. Tether and Whop together will work to bring a sustainable income to billions of people throughout the world. There is enormous opportunity when you combine Tether’s global scale and wallet technology with Whop’s community of next generation entrepreneurs. My co-founders and I met as teenagers on the internet selling software. We first launched Whop as a way for us to sell our own software to people in Facebook and Discord forums. Prior to Whop, the place we found customers was different from the place we collected payments, different from the place we talked to customers, and there wasn’t a central place to “do business” on the internet. In partnership with Tether, we will be scaling infrastructure in real-time for new business models as they emerge across the globe. The job is just getting started. 🚀

Whop CEO @cultured breaks down @micro1_ai's data labeling business: "There are so many ways that people can earn income on the internet today, and it's only going to get crazier and crazier." "[micro1] partners with AI labs to provide access to prerecorded videos and situations that the general public can weigh in on and say what they would interpret the most likely solution to any set of visual problems to be." "micro1 is essentially aggregating all those opportunities and delivering payouts at scale to the general public. It's paid for by the labs."

replies on this are hilarious ive visited whop a few times & you could not believe how DIAL'D & locked in everyone is, & most importantly they are EXCITED to build meanwhile regular dronebots want to act like this is slavery because theyve never been passionate about anything in life makes you realize how important company culture is and everyone should take note of that with their staff/employees you dont accomplish anything great by being regular and going through the motions.

a few months ago I said keep an eye on Whop... Every single day they're announcing something insane. Today it's a partnership with micro1, yesterday it was poaching someone from Meta Super-Intelligence, and before that it was independence from Stripe and the lowest transaction fees in the industry. These guys are pushing weight, and it's still early. Bullish.

Whop just crossed $2B in GTV and $142 mil in ARR. Gen Z doesn’t want traditional jobs. Whop is becoming the backbone for how they earn. I’m slightly biased… I invested in @whop at a $3M valuation in 2021 and remain the largest shareholder outside the founders. Even from that seat, I still don’t fully understand how Gen Z makes a living. Most investors are asleep. They’ll notice when ARR goes from $142M toward $1B within 18 months. The CEO Steven is one of the most naturally talented leaders of his age group. A world class engineer with unusual range, speed, and instinct. He has the kind of raw, unstructured talent you can’t manufacture: randomly insane piano skills but no Ivy League polish. Whop is a hidden gem… a generational company built by generational founders.
