#4Happy for Courtland. Should be a good move in the long term. Hope they keep the (excellent) podcast going.

#5What exactly does indiehackers do?
Teach and inspire people to become entrepreneurs on their own terms, e.g. without raising venture capital. Media company (podcast, newsletter) with a large online and in-person community.

How what went down? If you mean Strip not owning it anymore, I think the post explains pretty much everything. They're on good terms and Strip is simply supporting rather than owning IH now

Doesn’t explain it at all, really.
Presumably Stripe owned it before, now they don’t… or own some smaller portion (since it’s stated they’re an investor)
Likely either founders bought back a portion of the company, or Stripe relinquished ownership out of goodwill. Perhaps it was worth very little, I’m not familiar with it

#8Wow this is a big one! Congrats csallen@, what drove this change ?
Re: Indie Hackers is indie again
#9Very exciting!
On a side-note, I wonder if this decision relates to Stripe’s ambitions to IPO soonish.

If I had to hazard a guess this might be a cost-cutting measure on Stripe's part similar to cuts on content marketing that other companies have done. DigitalOcean divested from CSS Tricks [0], and there was an article earlier today about Amazon shutting down DPReviews [1]. Maybe the Stripe founders gave the IndieHackers folks a chance to spin it off again as opposed to shutting down.
