The a16z perspective
In a16z’s published conversations with Stripe’s founders, payments are infrastructure for new kinds of internet businesses. Software can make moving money part of the product itself.
Patrick Collison and Alex Rampell explored programmable commerce in 2016. In 2018, John Collison and Rampell discussed how Stripe found room to innovate in a market many considered settled. These conversations connect Stripe’s developer focus with the changing needs of businesses online.
