About Whatnot

Whatnot's mission is to enable anyone to turn their passion into a business and bring people together through commerce, connecting, transacting, and building a business in one place to bring the in-person retail experience online. It positions itself as the leading marketplace for collector communities, focusing on niches around collectors and enthusiasts.
