We are micro pessimists but macro optimists.

Through the tools that we build, we want to push the world to create better products and services.

Stripes do what’s best for the organization overall.

By the standards of the rest of the world, we overtrust. We’re okay with that.

We care about being right and it often takes reasoning from first principles to get there.

Our users entrust us with their money, their businesses, and their livelihoods. Millions of businesses around the world (individuals, startups, and large enterprises) are open for business only if we are. When we mess up, miss a deadline, or slow down, it matters. We take that responsibility seriously.
