Stripe was founded in 2010 with the mission of making it easier to accept payments over the internet. At the time, taking credit cards meant working with a legacy processor or a middleman broker who would provide you with access to a processor.
Irish entrepreneurs and brothers John and Patrick Collison founded Stripe in 2010 with initial funding from the famed startup accelerator Y Combinator. They launched their public service in September of 2011 and quickly became a Silicon Valley darling. Over the next several years, they received almost $800 million in funding, and a valuation of over $22 billion, making them one of the most valuable private companies in the world.
Stripe grew quickly because their products were digital- and developer-centric from the very beginning. The platform was built to be easily integrated into both custom and existing digital apps, and provided clear and straightforward directions.
