Form of work Whatnot
Whatnot is a livestream shopping platform and marketplace backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Y Combinator, and CapitalG. We're building the future of ecommerce, bringing together community, shopping and entertainment. We are committed to our values , whether working remotely or from one of our offices. We are building a team that has experience from top tech, retail and payments platforms in the world.
We're innovating in the fast-paced world of live auctions in categories including sports, fashion, video games, and streetwear. The platform couples rigorous seller vetting with a focus on community to create a welcoming space for buyers and sellers to share their passions with others.
And, we're growing. Whatnot has been the fastest growing marketplace in the US over the past two years and we're hiring forward-thinking problem solvers across all functional areas.

Whatnot is bringing it to the world through a community-first approach, starting in the U.S. where retail is a $5T market opportunity!
