Stripe, the fintech giant valued at a staggering $95 billion, is currently facing an important decision. What will its next move be? Will it opt to go public or raise more funding?
The company has been rapidly growing since its launch in 2011 and now serves millions of businesses around the world. It provides services such as payment processing and fraud prevention for online transactions. Stripe’s success has made it one of the most valuable private companies in Silicon Valley with investors clamoring for a piece of their pie.
However, going public would bring about considerable changes within Stripe’s operations which could potentially affect business growth negatively if not managed properly. On the other hand, raising additional funds could help them expand further without having to deal with any major restructuring that may come with going public; however, this also comes at a cost as they will have to give up some ownership stake in exchange for capital investment from venture capitalists or other sources. Ultimately only time can tell what direction Stripe decides to take but no matter what happens there is sure to be plenty of excitement along the way!
