About Stripe
Stripe is the leading payment infrastructure platform for the internet, processing hundreds of billions of dollars annually for millions of businesses. Founded in 2010 by Irish brothers Patrick and John Collison, Stripe revolutionized online payments with its developer-first approach and elegant API. The company has expanded far beyond payments to offer billing, invoicing, tax, fraud prevention, and even business incorporation (Stripe Atlas). At its peak valuation of $95 billion in 2021, it was the most valuable private fintech company ever.
