FAQ
What is the Stripe Mafia?
The term "Stripe Mafia" is a play on the "PayPal Mafia", a group of early PayPal employees who went on to found influential companies. Stripe has been around for 10 years and many ex-employees are now starting their own startups. I'm compiling them in one place.
Where does this list come from?
It's entirely crowdsourced! I seeded the initial list from my network, this Twitter thread, and this Business Insider article.
If you know of a company that should be on here, please DM me on Twitter or send me an email.
What qualifies a company to be on this list?
Three criteria:
- At least one founder of the company should be an ex-Stripe (full-time or intern.)
- The company should have been founded during or after their tenure at Stripe.
- Information about the company should be public knowledge. We want to respect founders whose companies are in stealth.
How do I find out about new startups being added?
Subscribe to the mailing list. I'll email you when new startups are added.
Who is behind this site?
It's me, Atty Eleti. I work at Stripe!
