I've done some work for a competitor so feel free to call me out for being biased.

Stripe rocks.

Documentation, interface, team, vision, customer service etc, it's all a notch above the expected. If there ever was a company that I wished that I could have invested in early stage this was it. Dropbox, Airbnb & Heroku are all great companies, Stripe has the potential to be an awesome company (no offence to Dropbox, Airbnb & Heroku intended).

That I like the founders on top of all that makes it an even better story, what's not to like about Patrick & John?

Stripe is a story worth knowing about, even if you're not in the payment industry, this is how you do a start-up tackling a tough problem.
