Given most retail companies are struggling I assume stripe will also be significantly impacted. Anyone know if stripe is impacted by lower revenue? Any impact on their growth and hiring plans?
DD doesn’t get it. Still pumping revenue and proudly bleeding money like it’s 2020. Atrocious earnings with increasing loss per share while trying to boost revenue. Other more sensible companies like Uber, Lyft, Stripe all trying to become more profitable while reducing costs even if it means takin...Read more

I’m trying to figure out why a ton of ex-Googlers are migrating over there. I would imagine their financials aren’t far off from Square or PayPal (meaning not 2-3x better) but somewhat “similar”. I get that they process billions and billions of dollars worth of payments but from their 2.75% take, ...Read more

I get they may have some differentiating products but for the majority of their revenue, they all do the same thing, payment processing. I noticed Stripe has a crapload of talent though, mostly ex-Google and Facebook. Even the CFO of General Motors and an ex-head of Goldman Sachs left their jobs to...Read more
Why do people think Stripe is overvalued in the current market? I like to anchor my discussion with comparison to Adyen. Adyen is a public company and their revenue is ~1 Bn Euros with market cap of 38 Bn. That means a revenue multiple of 38x. Assuming Adyen grow by 50% in 2022, it's revenue multip...Read more

Plaid seems like a cool company, really small still (~500+) with minor revenue increases. It's def on the jr side of its growth, but the culture seems really good based on reviews.

IC just slashed valuation by 40%! People keep saying Stripe is inflated too and will fall but how do they know? Bolt's current valuation is 275X revenue. Is that normal?

Why does Microsoft pay so much less than other FAANG, but makes more than most of them? What benefit do they see with this model that others don’t? And why do companies like Stripe, Lyft, etc. pay so much more, but make so much less revenue & earnings?
