Transition Years attended the virtual event run by the successful Irish company: Stripe. It was informative and interesting.
Millions of businesses of all sizes, from start-ups to large enterprises, use Stripe’s software and APIs to accept payments, send pay-outs, and manage their businesses online.
Founded in 2010 by two brothers from Tipperary, Patrick and John Collison, Stripe was launched a year later, the company counts big names like Amazon, Google, Facebook, Deliveroo, Salesforce and Shopify among its users. The San Francisco based firm does not release revenue data, but says it processes hundreds of billions of dollars of transactions for millions of companies each year. Last year it processed more commerce online than the entire value of the internet economy a decade ago when it was founded. The Irish-founded company is now the most valuable private company in Silicon Valley.
