𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻’𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗮 𝗴𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗽𝗲 𝗯𝘆 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁. Most people think Stripe is just a payment gateway. But that’s only one piece of the puzzle. Stripe is actually a full-stack financial infrastructure company for the internet. It's not just about accepting payments — it offers a full suite of tools to help businesses launch, run, and grow. Some of the stuff they offer: Stripe Atlas, Billing, Checkout, Connect, Invoicing, Tax tools, Corporate Cards — and more. Each of these products adds revenue. And that’s how Stripe became a $91.5B company — not by doing just one thing, but by building an entire ecosystem. 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘇𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗼𝘂𝘁, 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲: Almost every big tech company followed this same path. Google, Apple, Tesla, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, NVIDIA — none of them became giants by selling just one product. Of course, there are exceptions. But in most cases, this is the playbook. Start with one strong product → then build a full suite around it → become unstoppable. So if you're building something — think beyond just one feature. Think ecosystem. Think platform. That’s how juggernauts are born.
