i've made $1.2M with clipping. today, i'm giving away the software i use to run it:

> wallets for $ movement
> chat so you can speak with your creators
> scrapers for account verification + view tracking
> automatic payouts

all built on @whop.

this is fully customizable, white-gloved infra so you can run your own agency or marketplace.

[Arc @arcinternet]

We've decided to sunset Arc on December 22, 2026.

That's not an easy sentence to write. We spent years building Arc and celebrating each and every release along the way: we have so much pride and love for what we made alongside the Arc community.

Our priority is to deliver best-in-class security for our members. Keeping a browser secure takes constant, dedicated work that is only increasing in the age of AI. Dia was built from the ground up to meet today’s security standards, so that's where our engineering and security teams will focus moving forward.

We've worked to make switching to @diabrowser as easy as possible for Arc members. Here's how:

· Your passwords, bookmarks, extensions and history come over to Dia seamlessly.
· Spaces, Folders, and Tab Groups are in Dia and import over with your data intact.
· Dia now surpasses Arc benchmarks in stability, speed, and security.
· The browser features you use in Arc are free in Dia, and the AI is optional.

Thank you for using Arc, for pushing us to make it better, and for building alongside us. The team that made Arc is the same team behind Dia, and some of our most ambitious work is just ahead. We'd love for you to be there with us when it lands.

@emhan02 @whop not enough of them!

[jlee @jlee_xyz]

i've started a handful of businesses: marketing agencies, imessage agents, subscription apps, and even collecting niche datasets. some were successful (and many were ass), but all of them would've been easier to start with @whop.

one reason is they are an api-first company. this is a huge advantage in the agentic era.

whop has essentially commoditized the core primitives of entrepreneurship. small service firms are built on the same infra as giants like @micro1_ai and @Replit.

and when these layers get commoditized, entrepreneurship feels much less daunting.

let's print.

[Steven Schwartz 🦅 @cultured]

Whop has raised $200M in Series D funding at a $5.1B valuation, backed by @sequoia and @shopify.

It really feels like we are barely touching the tip of the iceberg in a market larger than anyone can imagine.

We first launched Whop as a better way for us to sell sneaker bots, one of the most niche types of desktop software out there.

Total TAM? Probably $20,000 per day.

Who cares, tiny market.

But, what people discounted is the idea that there were actually 70,000 other markets exactly like that one.

Beyond the investment itself, I am especially excited to welcome legendary silicon valley investor @dougleone to our board of directors. Doug and the sequoia team are nothing but a brilliant, resourceful, and principled group of people.

My co-founder Cameron and I started building on Shopify when we were 13 years old. Shopify is one of the most impactful all-in-one cloud ecosystems ever created; @tobi has pioneered modern entrepreneurship the way we know it and we are thrilled to have him in our corner.

We have a tenet at Whop to be the dumbest in the room and I am very grateful that this has recently become a lot easier.

We are focused on markets, scale economies, and progressive media. If that is up your alley, please message me directly.

The $200M raised will support our expansion as we build economic infrastructure for the next century, continuing on our mission of delivering everyone an income.
