About Us

What we're about

Launched in 2009, Pouncer is the first entertainment shopping site exclusive to Australia. We sell high demand name brand items for incredibly low prices. When someone bids on an auction on Pouncer the price goes up by a set amount, typically 1c-20c, and the timer goes up by a set amount usually 1-5 seconds. The last bidder on the auction when the timer ends, gets the item for the listed price.

We are constantly pushing our platform to create new and engaging features for our users. Many of the latest features allow users to earn bids by winning special auctions, which are free to play. In December 2009, we launched our Sponsored Auctions platform where bids are earned, rather than bought. Users can RSVP up to two hours before and can earn more bids via a brief survey.


The Pouncer Team

Kain Warwick

Chief Executive Officer

Kain Warwick joined his first web startup in 1999 - Whatcard.com - a web loyalty portal. He worked there as a developer and system administrator until 2001. He has since consulted at several other startups over the years, as well as running a networking consulting business which helped consumers set up home networks with the focus being on emerging wireless networking technologies. Over the last five years he has focussed on retail management in the Professional Audio market as well as his Band The Lie Society which he started in 2005 in Boston.

The creation of Pouncer in 2009 marked both the first web startup he has founded and a return to IT industry.
