You’re so metrics-driven you probably rate your breakfast on ARR contribution, humblebragging at scale: part CEO, part hype machine, all KPI. Don’t worry, the rocket looks great from the ground.

Secured a $200M strategic investment from Tether valuing Whop at $1.6B while scaling the platform to generate over $1B/year for creators and creating 100+ millionaire creators, a rare combo of product traction, money, and real creator impact.

To democratize the internet economy by removing payment frictions and creating platforms that let anyone turn creativity into sustainable income, scaling infrastructure so new business models can flourish globally.

Believes money should be a commodity, payments should be accessible everywhere, and creators deserve direct, borderless ways to monetize. Values data-driven decisions, rapid iteration, and building open markets that empower individual entrepreneurs over gatekeepers.

Relentless at storytelling and fundraising, skilled at turning product milestones into viral narratives, and laser-focused on metrics and scalable infrastructure. He builds momentum fast and attracts big strategic partners.

Can come off brash or overly transactional, which risks alienating community members and attracts public critique. Bold proclamations and flashy numbers sometimes overshadow nuance and relationship-building.

On X, lean into storytelling threads that break down product decisions, share creator case studies with concrete numbers, and host regular Spaces/AMAs to humanize the brand. Reply more to creator wins and critiques (show the face behind the CEO tweets), use short video for behind-the-scenes, and pin a data-driven thread that explains Whop’s impact, the mix of transparency plus narrative will grow trust and amplify reach.

Fun fact: Steven and his co-founders met as teenagers selling software online, and that scrappy origin story still drives Whop’s culture. Also, his timeline shows he’s equally comfortable announcing a $200M strategic round and tweeting motivational one-liners.

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. 🚀

Everyone should have the opportunity to build a business and make money on the internet. Internet entrepreneurship however, has always carried a stigma — people assume that if you’re selling something online, it’s probably a scam. The reality is, when you’re just starting out, it’s hard to know what makes a “high-quality” product. You’re learning as you go, collecting feedback from customers, and iterating on your offerings. Whop started with people selling homemade desktop software, and it’s grown into markets we never could have predicted. The magic of Whop is that it’s a user-generated business platform. Our responsibility is to build the foundation for the next wave of businesses — creator led, community driven, and internet-native. My co-founders and I have been at this for a long time — meeting each other on Facebook when we were 13 years old, finding customers on Skype, setting up Wordpress sites, emailing people software we made, going from business to business in hopes to make something people found useful. While the types of businesses have evolved dramatically and trends now change almost everyday, the fundamentals stayed constant: People need a way to get paid, keep their customers engaged, and drive next level distribution to find more customers. That’s what we’re focused on. Our responsibility is not to dictate what people should sell or what others should buy. Yes, scams exist. But from day one, we’ve prioritized real customer support, a resolution center that facilitates discourse between buyers and sellers, and tools that hold sellers accountable. Whop doesn’t allow any porn, nudity, illegal content, or anything else not permitted by general social media platforms. Nonetheless, people still have a habit of projecting their own tastes onto why something should or shouldn’t be sold. Judging what someone chooses to buy or sell is like insisting they read a certain book or watch a certain movie. In the short term, this pisses some people off. In the long run, it creates a healthier market — one where people express themselves in ways no one could’ve predicted, unlocking the most creative economy the world has ever seen. Our policies will continue to evolve as we scale and we appreciate all of your feedback. 🚀

A new discover page is live on whop.com. We currently have almost 2M weekly visitors to our homepage. The #1 goal of our new page is to provide complete transparency to the rankings on our platform. This allows creators to know exactly where they fall for each of the following scoreboards: 1/ Most money made — ranked by creators who made the most money in the last 24 hours 2/ Newest — time the whop was created 3/ Most addicting — average minutes consumers spend in each of the whops over the last 24 hours 4/ Most reviews — most amount of reviews over the last 24 hours (both positive and negative) 5/ Hottest affiliate offers — most money earned by affiliates over the last 24 hours Not only does this give more creators a chance to get discovered, it also lets creators know exactly where they are on the scoreboard as well as what they have to do to climb the rankings. Additionally, it helps consumers make informed purchase decisions with completely validated metrics and real consumer reviews. Game on ⚔️
