Today Whatnot (W20) is a lively platform where collectors can buy, sell, go live, and geek out with other like-minded people across a wide variety of product categories. But, like every startup, the founders of Whatnot began with only an idea. YC’s Anu Hariharan sat down with the co-founder and CEO of Whatnot Grant LaFontaine to discuss their first five launches.

Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst The startup world is a territory full of ideas, hopes, expectations, failures, small success, big disappointments, resilience and most importantly, of being faithful to a vision and a mission and stick to them. The story here is about a digital platform (Whatnot). It's a common story for many startups, but with a good ending. Worthy to watch if you are in the way of start up creation, or already created, but always wanting to know more, to understand better the ways and paths where others have already gone, to learn and ponder.
