I have an opportunity to invest in stripe at a valuation at ~200B. This seems incredibly high to me because last round was close to 100B, but people are saying that they expect this to easily 2-3x. What do you think? Would you invest? The IPO could be hyped as well. #personalfinance #investments #stripe #ipo
How are you getting this opportunity? For what it is worth FB will likely appreciate 2x more than Stripe at this point. Square is not even at 200B. Is Stripe worth more than them?
don’t fight the fed
Depends when the IPO date? Dropbox is the close Analogous competitor I can think of that’s worth $12 bil market cap. If the IPO date for stripe is soon I’d say $20bil is a good price tag for a company that supports Amazon- who’s worth 1.6 tril….. if you’re keeping a boat known as Amazon’s payment system afloat to support their business which is valued at ~80x more than you… I’d say you’re doing prettttttty good as a business. And that’s just your top customer…
What did you smoke up this morning ?
Dropbox is a competitor to Stripe!!! I am totally working for the wrong Dropbox then.
Stripe makes considerably less revenue than Square and grows slower. And Square is valued at 120B. No way stripe is 200B. Don’t buy into the hype.
Stripe makes less revenue even with Amazon as a customer??? I sure wonder what that contract looks like between Amazon and Stripe….
I am certain that not all Amazon’s payments go through Stripe. And most customers of Stripe including Shopify also have Adyen and PayPal as their payment processors (and they split the volume among them).
Huh? Are you alluding to a pricing model there FB? Is that how stripe works?
Really wanted Stripe shares but the economics don’t work in this deal. Valuation too high. Fees too high. Rumor of direct listing which would mean early shareholders can sell immediately and we’d be left holding the bag. I’m gonna pass on this one.
Oh and if you have to sell FB shares to fund it then you’d get the tax hit for selling those.
