I think the challenge for all technology companies is to modify what they're doing to be what the market needs at that point.

Our initial idea with Stripe was that for people like us - those building apps and websites - it was incredibly difficult to take payments. So with an open mind, and maybe a useful lack of knowledge about the industry, we started building a payment product.

For Stripe, being inventive is just about applying the right solutions from other areas.

Amazon Web Services for payments is an apt description of Stripe.

As long as the Internet economy continues to grow, Stripe will continue to grow.
