Our Story

Team Phynite in action!

Like many great ideas throughout history, our plans for Phynite stemmed from one late-night conversation in a college dorm. As passionate collectors ourselves, our discussion revolved around our first-hand experiences with issues faced by all collectors: Item validity, high shipping fees/taxes, low transaction speed, inadequate user protections, and product security. Whether it was Andy never receiving his 2016 Charizard-Holo in the mail or even Will having his Off-White Nike Air VaporMax sneakers stolen during an in-person trade, our team had faced enough of the problems associated with collecting to know that collectors worldwide need better solutions.

The day after our dorm-room discussion, we immediately got to work building Phynite. Every day since, we’ve worked tirelessly to succeed in the mission we set for ourselves that night: Serve the unmet needs of collectors worldwide, and trailblaze a brighter future for digital collectibles as a whole.

Will Yeo | CFO | "The Hustler"

When Will sees an entrepreneurial opportunity, he acts immediately, and puts all his strength into securing a victory. Will not only understands how to serve the many needs of a diverse audience, but also the importance of fostering diversity both within and outside of Phynite. Thus, whether working on big-picture or detail-oriented tasks, Will finds success through deeply considering others’ individual needs, and applying skills from multiple disciplines to develop a solution. More than solely masterfully managing books, budgets, and balances; Will’s strong suit lies in building strong, mutually-beneficial relationships with partners.
