Culver City CA livestream shopping marketplace (private, $3.7B valuation); $775M+ raised ($260M Series E DST Global), largest US live auction for collectibles/trading cards/sneakers, 50,000+ shows/week competing with eBay Live.
Whatnot is a Culver City, California-based live auction and shopping platform — founded in 2019 by Grant LaFontaine (CEO) and Logan Head (COO, both Y Combinator-backed) — operating the largest livestream shopping marketplace in the United States where sellers host live video auction shows for collectibles, trading cards, vintage clothing, sneakers, anime merchandise, and other enthusiast categories, with buyers bidding in real time through a mobile app and web platform. The company has raised $775 million+ in total funding including a $260 million Series E led by DST Global in March 2024, reaching a $3.7 billion post-money valuation. Whatnot connects hundreds of thousands of verified sellers — ranging from casual collectors to professional resellers with dedicated Pokémon card, sports card, and sneaker inventory — with millions of buyers seeking authenticated collectibles and the entertainment experience of competitive live auction bidding. The platform hosts 50,000+ shows per week across categories including trading cards, vintage apparel, toys, anime figurines, concert memorabilia, and video games — creating a continuous live content ecosystem that generates the engagement density that traditional e-commerce platforms cannot match. The platform operates primarily in the United States but launched in Germany and the United Kingdom in 2023, establishing European market presence ahead of TikTok Shop's European expansion into the same live shopping category.

The brand's irreverent advertising featuring clay-animated celebrities became culturally memorable.
