Stripe’s Investors
Alexia Tsotsis, at TechCrunch:
Despite investment from three out of five PayPal co-founders, Stripe actually competes directly with PayPal […].
“Despite”? I see this fact as far more revealing. PayPal should be the biggest and most successful bank in the history of the world, but due to eBay’s horrific incompetence, it’s not. PayPal’s founders probably still want to see their ultimate vision come to fruition. Who better to invest in than Stripe, a company with the opportunity, the will, the talent, and the resources to reach PayPal’s ultimate vision?
