About Stripe

Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. Millions of companies - from the world’s largest enterprises to the most ambitious startups - use Stripe to accept payments, grow their revenue, and accelerate new business opportunities. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead. That means you have an unprecedented opportunity to put the global economy within everyone's reach while doing the most important work of your career.

Our Editorial Team

Stripe’s Editorial team is premised on two notions: that ideas are essential ingredients in fueling economic progress; and that many of the best ideas are under valued. Works in Progress, our magazine of underrated schemes to improve the world, recently branched out into print subscriptions. Stripe Press, our in-house imprint canonizes ideas for Progress—new and old—in beautiful editions. The team recently celebrated one million books sold.

One consequence of building infrastructure at Stripe’s scale is that we see the economy forming in real time. New categories appear before they have names. New business models take shape quietly, then suddenly feel inevitable. Patterns emerge in how people build, sell, hire, and get paid. These signals matter — and sharing them helps policymakers, business leaders, media and the public better understand where the economy is headed.
