Founding Growth - Sealed Wax

Tradepost is building the liquidity infrastructure for the real world. We believe that everything you own should be instantly tradeable. Today you can trade stocks and crypto in seconds, but the things you actually own like Pokémon cards, collectibles, watches, and sports cars take weeks to sell, ship, and settle. Tradepost is closing that gap one asset class at a time. We launched sealed Pokémon and sports cards in March and are already doing over $5M/month in volume. Now we're doubling down on what's working.

We're backed by Andreessen Horowitz, alongside angel investors who are current and former executives at Goldman Sachs, Fidelity Investments, Alt, Ticketmaster, Opendoor, and more. We're a small team that's been reselling cards, collectibles, and sneakers our whole lives. We've felt the pain of trading in these verticals firsthand, and we know exactly what it takes to bring these asset classes to the next level.

We're looking for a Founding Growth lead who lives and breathes the Hobby to scale our Marketplace and Live Trading businesses toward $100M/month. You'll source and close the accounts that matter, then turn what works into the playbook the team runs on. It's your business to build, with all the leverage and resources of Tradepost behind you.

Your Role

• Grow Our Existing Business: We have a strong base of resellers and liquidity providers, including some of the biggest breakers, wholesalers, and card shops in the Hobby, with plenty of room to double down.

• Onboard More Liquidity: Win the biggest breakers, show dealers, card shops, and consignors we haven't onboarded yet, and own those accounts end-to-end.

• Launch Live Trading: Launch and manage partnerships for our instantly settled, 1:1-backed markets on vaulted inventory, where users trade and invest in wax, graded, and raw cards as easily as stocks.

What We Look For

• You're Relentless: We love people who don't stop until they get what they want.

• You Bet on Yourself: We love people who have taken real risk on something they believed in, built something, walked away from something safe, or backed something nobody else would.

• You Get Along With Anyone: This Hobby has a thousand different types of people. You understand and can vibe with all of them, and they respect that you know what you're talking about.

• You're Obsessed with Sports Cards: We love people who live and breathe the Hobby and already have a track record and reputation within it.

Compensation

• Base Salary: $135,000 - $175,000, depending on a variety of factors, including but not limited to experience, education, skills, qualifications and business needs.

• Rev Share: 5–15% of the revenue you generate, uncapped, for the first 12 - 18 months on deals you close

• Equity Offered

What You'll Get From Tradepost

• Ownership: Founding title, meaningful equity, and the opportunity to eat what you kill.

• Green Light: Trips to the National, other card shows, and anything needed for accounts that matter on the company's dime, as often as it's worth it.

• A Magic Wand: Our engineering team is best in class, and we're always looking for ways to improve what we already have. If you have an idea you deeply believe will make us money, we'll build it.

• Stipends: Taxable housing stipend to live by the office, gym stipend, and lunch and dinner in the office.
