Today Stripe is publishing our annual letter. Here are my key takeaways: 1. Collectively, the businesses using Stripe passed the milestone of $1 trillion in total payment volume in 2023, up 25% from the prior year. This means that roughly 1% of global GDP now runs on Stripe.  2. Our enterprise segment continues to grow rapidly, with more than 100 large companies processing over $1 billion per year with Stripe. 3. Although VC funding in 2023 hit its lowest levels since 2018, we’ve actually seen record startup formation across Stripe. You can find the full letter: https://lnkd.in/gv_B3ykb.

𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗽𝗲‘𝘀 𝗨𝗞 𝗦𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗟𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵 Sat on basically the front row of the audience of Stripe’s UK tour this morning, I heard a few of the interesting products just announced for the UK market and a sneak peak at some others. A couple of the big ones are: 👉🏽 Stripe Capital: Unlocking access to funding for the UK’s small businesses and creates new revenue streams for platforms. AKA Get Financed 👉🏽 Available in the UK first, Stripe’s Open Banking-powered payment method and faster manual payouts provide businesses with quicker, cheaper ways to access their earnings. AKA Get Paid Faster and Understand Cashflow As someone who has worked in SME lending and called out Getting Finance and Getting Paid Faster as part of my product strategy work, these new products to serve business needs are welcome, will positively impact businesses but shouldn’t be a huge surprise given the challenges businesses face. It’s the scale of coverage of these solutions and Stripe’s product evolution that is super inpressive. From 2010: “Startup to help US businesses take credit card payments” To today: “Everything payments, for all businesses…Everywhere”. This warrants a deep dive on their evolution, product stack, the Jobs they are solving for businesses, product metrics they drive for customers, and more, right? 👀

Watching the lion leave food for the wolves, it hit me, in a very payment gateway industry context – this sounds similar to PayPal-Braintree situation! How??? Let's dive in So, PayPal acquired Braintree in 2013 in an all cash deal. Braintree had around 4000 merchants using its service, including back-then fast-growing startups (and now global giants) like Uber, Airbnb. Interesting part is although PayPal acquired a major competition, instead of absorbing it or competing, they allowed Braintree to keep powering payments for giants like Uber and Airbnb. Just like the lion sharing its kill, PayPal provided the infrastructure, letting these companies thrive while they maintained leadership in the payment space. In a way, PayPal also ensured that these companies didn't need to develop competing gateways themselves. This is a great example of how sharing resources can fuel collaboration and drive success without direct competition. It’s a win-win when you know how to balance strategy and growth! #strategy #payments #PG #collection #processing

I can’t comment on when Stripe may or may not go public but as we’ve seen in the market - the push for profitability and growth at all costs makes companies change their models. Many of last decades fast growers are changing their business models for obvious reasons. For software developers, ISVs and Platforms in all verticals … maybe it’s time to engage with a different type of partner. A guided journey created for you with the goal of helping make your software better. #change #softwaredeveloper #isv #integratedpayments Fortis #guides
