About the Company

Stripe

Builds payment software for internet businesses

Stripe builds payment software that businesses of all sizes plug into their websites and apps to accept money online and in person. After its public launch in 2011, it won over internet startups by letting developers start taking payments with a few lines of code. Businesses use it to take cards and digital wallets, block fraud, bill subscriptions, and pay out sellers on online marketplaces, while Stripe earns a fee on each payment plus charges for add-on tools. Irish brothers Patrick and John Collison founded Stripe in 2010, and it is based in South San Francisco, California, and Dublin, Ireland. In 2016, John Collison, then 26, became the world's youngest self-made billionaire.
