- Safety is provided with the optional use of a low fee in-built escrow wallet facility and a safe meetup and pickup geo-locator recommender from vetted localised businesses.
- Fair pricing is provided with the only available crowdsourced machine learning pricing system developed by Warrp that provides a fair market price update every 12 hours automatically.
Market Opportunity
- The Total Addressable Market (TAM) of second hand goods in Australia is $46b.
- The Serviceable Addressable Market (SAM) within the collectibles (16%), electronics (30%), luxury wear (19%) and vehicles (8%) categories brings this to $33b.
- The Serviceable Obtainable Market (SOM) with likeability to escrow (60%), preference to meet publically at a safe location (22%), interest in pricing research before selling (57%) and to negotiate before buying (47%) gives us a weighted percentage of 46% and a $15b second hand goods value market opportunity.

Business Model
Primary Revenue Stream (Optional Escrow Fee): Warrp is a free to use social enterprise platform that provides the option to users that prefer to protect their transaction with an escrow payment. When this happens, the seller is charged 4.99% of the transaction value with a capped fee of $49.99.
Secondary Revenue Stream (SaaS MRR + Optional Escrow Fee): For second hand goods dealers that are interested in purchasing from our sellers at lower prices for reselling purposes, we charge a $49.99 monthly fee to provide the dealers with access to this functionality. In these instances and if escrow is used, the dealer will be charged 4.99% of the transaction value also capped at $49.99.
Our Strengths
Warrp is led by three key founding team members with three different yet very important functions to equip and grow the business.
- Visionary business entrepreneurship (Matthew Ng, Co-Founder & CEO)
- Product and technology know-how (Roman Granovskyi, Co-Founder & CTO)
- Financial acumen and strategic planning (Vince Naselli, Shareholder & CFO)
The importance of attracting key talent and bringing in the best will start from the top. From industry experience and networks, the three founding leaders will bring in the best organisational personnel into Warrp and will continually cultivate a culture of unity, teamwork and passion.
