Our first and most important value at Whatnot is always listening to customers. It’s at the heart of everything we do, from the products we build to the policies we create to the categories we launch. This focus on being customer-first has guided us since day one; it’s shaped how we’ve grown and adapted to bring you the best experience.

December 6, 2024, marks a major milestone—Whatnot’s 5th anniversary! Over these five years, the platform has grown from a small startup into a thriving community that empowers people to transform their passions into businesses. This journey wouldn’t have been possible without the dedicated sellers, buyers, and team members who make Whatnot what it is today.

To celebrate, we’re spotlighting a few of the sellers and employees who were instrumental in shaping our story.
