What believers are saying

  • Stripe's recent partnerships, such as with Coinbase, highlight its commitment to innovation and expanding its reach in the rapidly growing crypto market.
  • The company's robust financial health, evidenced by exceeding $1 trillion in total payment volume in 2023, indicates strong growth potential and stability.
  • Stripe's selection by major companies like Adastria Group to power new marketplaces showcases its reputation and reliability in the fintech sector.

What critics are saying

  • The competitive fintech landscape, with giants like PayPal and Square, poses a constant threat to Stripe's market share.
  • Stripe's reluctance to go public may limit its access to capital markets, potentially affecting its ability to scale and innovate.

What makes Stripe unique

  • Stripe's extensive suite of APIs offers unparalleled flexibility and ease of integration for businesses of all sizes, setting it apart from competitors with more rigid solutions.
  • The company's focus on a wide range of services, from fraud prevention to business financing, provides a comprehensive ecosystem that few competitors can match.

Benefits

Inclusive coverage - We provide a thoughtful and balanced set of benefits that allow Stripes to be their best selves and do great work. Whether that means offering comprehensive mental, physical, and medical health plans, supporting Stripes’ financial futures, providing fertility benefits and parental leave, or making sure Stripes have access to healthy food at the office, our robust programs put Stripes and their families first.

Growth by way of learning - We are voracious learners and teachers. Our Education team delivers an onboarding and product training curriculum for all new Stripes, and hosts expert-led courses on things like project management fundamentals and macroeconomics.

A principled approach to food - The food program holds a special place in Stripe’s history and future. These Stripes come to our kitchen from a breadth of backgrounds and experiences, and focus on one proposition—respect. This is apparent not only in the local ingredients they work with or in the gracious, teamwork-driven buffet lines, but also in their approach to growing a global team through sustainable food practices and minimal waste.
