About Stripe
Stripe, founded in 2010 by Patrick and John Collison in South San Francisco and Dublin, builds financial infrastructure for the internet.

Valued at $65B+ after its 2024 rounds and processing over $1T annually, Stripe is the default for marketplaces, SaaS and AI startups. In Web3, Stripe's crypto on-ramps and USDC payouts bridge traditional checkout with on-chain treasury.

In addition to global payments infrastructure, Stripe invests heavily in crypto developer tools, USDC stablecoin settlement rails, and automated merchant payouts.
