Amazon might have the monopoly on physical goods sold online. But what about digital ones?
There’s Steam for games and software. Shopify supports some forms of digital goods, like artwork and gig services. But three co-founders, Steven Schwartz, Cameron Zoub and Jack Sharkey, believe that there’s room for competition.
Schwartz, Zoub and Sharkey are the creators of Whop, a marketplace for people to sell access to digital products. Products for sale — and re-sale — run the gamut from sports gambling picks and deals on food, travel and credit cards to tips to “level up your social game.”
“Whop is a comprehensive online platform aimed at connecting sellers and buyers within the digital economy,” Schwartz told TechCrunch in an email interview. “Its mission is to centralize all products on the internet, offering a one-stop solution for anyone looking to participate in the digital economy.”
