I recently moved on from Stripe to pursue entrepreneurial dreams and work on a startup of my own, alongside a talented and driven co-founder. This was a difficult decision but is an exciting opportunity to solve a real problem. More to share on that soon. For now, I want to express the gratitude I have for my time at Stripe. Stripe is a truly special place with incredible leadership and collective talent. Above all else, the people are what make Stripe such an amazing place to work. Of course, the products are second to none as well. Stripe's mission of increasing the GDP of the internet has empowered so many entrepreneurs and businesses across the globe and I'll forever be thankful for the opportunity to play a small part in that journey. I will continue to support Stripe from the sidelines. Thank you Beth Robertson for taking a chance on me and my incredible teammates for making the work so fun (Samantha Quist, Rama Veeraragoo, Parinaz Firozi, Angelia Müller (米安琪), Belen Rodriguez Galvez, Adam Kearney, Stephanie Korbely, Melissa Z. Moore, and Ashwin Kumar). Your guidance and inspiration have directly helped prepare me for this leap. I've learned more from each of you than you can imagine! There are too many others to thank here but you all know who you are. I'm excited to stay in touch and to share more about what I'm working on soon!
Congrats on making the jump! I host regular virtual roundtables for founders of early stage startups, called Founders Table. Each time we meet we discuss a business issue and I bring on a SME to facilitate the conversation. Next month we’re talking about founder-led sales and we’ll be joined by a GTM advisor. Let me know if you want more info/the link to join!
You took the leap of faith, amazing! (Callback to our discussions that day) best of luck Stephen !
many congrats... but i must know- how will this entrepreneurial endeavor impact your availability for basketball and softball?
What’s your new email address Stephen Roland? I’d love to hear what you’re working on and see if my network or knowledge can help you move things forward.
Good luck, Stephen, with building your own!
Would love to catch up when I’m next in NY to see what you’re working on! ❤️ best of luck on this exciting new chapter
Congrats Steve! Let's grab some time to chat when you get settled
All the best Stephen! Thanks for all your help while at Stripe.
