Long article, but crazy good article about Stripe, the payments processing (et al.) business. Clearly, if this company files for an IPO, it’s going to turn a lot of investor heads. Especially if they’re profitable already — so few other tech IPOs are profitable out of the gate these days.
Skip to the third question and check out those incredible stats.
