#2Well-deserved. One of the best dev platforms in existence right now with a clear value prop that is perfectly executed on at 100%.
I'm excited to see what the future holds for them.

#3Stripe is cool -- I use it every day -- but is it really worth, oh, half a Goldman Sachs?
I dunno man.

#5A lot to live up to, but those Collison brothers are hella ambitious and execute like champs, the whole team at stripe is seriously world class. No surprise here and incredibly well deserved. Keep up the good work folks.

Why should they be public?

#7Before we start piling on about whether or not its really worth 35B just keep in mind how private companies are valued. Someone paid a lot of money for a chunk of stripe so thats what its “worth”.
Personally I think stripe is close to worth - as another commenter put it - half of goldman sachs. The recent launch of loans, credit card issuing, etc are all bets or exercises that put stripe in an incredible position to build platforms for financial capabilities.

It would probably be safest to stay private and ride out the weather, the public markets are not exactly fun right now.

So VCs can capture every bit of value before its put on the public market.
