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.

Payments are and probably always will be a huge market. I think it's a good space to be in, even if you aren't the biggest in it.
