Who is Tyler Faux?
Tyler Faux is the Product Lead at Whatnot, the largest livestream shopping platform in the U.S. that connects buyers and sellers in real-time across 200+ categories.456
Faux previously co-founded Supergreat, a livestream beauty shopping app that is shutting down and folding most of its team into Whatnot.3 He has a background in product management and engineering.3
On LinkedIn, Faux shared his excitement about the Supergreat team joining Whatnot, stating they are "massive fans of the product and community Grant LaFontaine, Logan Head and the rest of the Whatnot team have built."4 He believes Whatnot is the "ideal place" for the Supergreat team to continue building for the future of live commerce.4
Whatnot's Counterfeit Policy
While Faux is joining Whatnot, the platform has faced issues with sellers listing counterfeit goods.12 Whatnot has a policy stating they "will work to provide any information properly requested by law enforcement to prosecute sellers who sell counterfeit items on Whatnot."7
However, some buyers have reported being scammed by sellers on Whatnot and facing challenges getting refunds or support from the platform.2 The influx of the Supergreat team may help Whatnot address these issues as they scale.
