Stripe's Editorial team is premised on two notions: that ideas are essential ingredients in fueling economic progress; and that many of the best ideas are under valued. , our in-house imprint canonizes ideas for Progress—new and old—in beautiful editions. The team recently celebrated one million books sold.
One consequence of building infrastructure at Stripe's scale is that we see the economy forming in real time. New categories appear before they have names. New business models take shape quietly, then suddenly feel inevitable. Patterns emerge in how people build, sell, hire, and get paid. These signals matter — and sharing them helps policymakers, business leaders, media and the public better understand where the economy is headed.
