They start as small, useful tools. But as founders go deeper, they often realize theyā€™re solving a much bigger problem. For the Collisons, Stripe started as a ā€œnice tool for developers.ā€ But soon, they saw the real problemā€”ā€œthe whole edifice is brokenā€ in online payments. That shift changed everything.
