Some valuation context, although I'm fully aware that Stripe is a private company and that many of its investors could have investing or striking privileges.

Stripe: 20 billion. Adyen (stock symbol: ADYEN) 19 billion. Shopify (stock symbol: SHOP) 17 billion. Square (stock symbol: SQ) 39 billion. Paypal (stock symbol: PYPL) 107 billion.

Paypal cofounders Elon Musk and Thiel are early Stripe investors.

Former Paypal EVP Keith Rabois is a Stripe investor and was COO of Square.

Adyen is actually 23b as the 19b you mentioned is in Euros. It’s also noteworthy that Stripe has about 1/2 the revenue and the same growth as Adyen, so it will be interesting to see how this plays out in the public markets given that they have nearly identical business models.

You are right.

Right now, 1 euro is worth about 1.17 dollars.
