☀️How Stripe Secured Its First Funding: A Pre-Seed Success Story In 2010, brothers Patrick and John Collison had a vision to simplify online payments. Their startup, Stripe, aimed to provide developers with seamless tools to accept payments. But getting investors onboard wasn’t easy—payment processing was seen as a saturated market. So, the Collison brothers focused on one thing: building an exceptional product that solved real developer pain points. Their persistence paid off. Stripe joined Y Combinator, securing pre-seed funding of $2 million from top investors, including PayPal founders Peter Thiel & Elon Musk. What stood out? Focus and simplicity. Stripe wasn’t just an idea—it was a solution with early users vouching for its impact. Today, Stripe powers companies like Amazon and Google. A true testament to starting small, solving big, and winning early. ⭐Start simple. Dream big.
