Underrated by the public but Paul Graham holds the Collison brothers in incredibly high esteem, lots of other SV people do also.

Underrated by the public but Paul Graham holds the Collison brothers in incredibly high esteem, lots of other SV people do also.
- danudey 6y agoHaving worked with them in the past (when Patrick was a newly "on paper" millionaire and not a widely known billionaire visionary), I feel the same way. They're smart, sure, and have great ideas and execution, sure, but they're also just really, really great people, and fun guys to hang out with.
- jacquesm 6y agoThe one thing that stands out for me - and this goes for both brothers - is their modesty. There are a lot of people thumping their chests all day long about very minor achievements and these guys just plug away at what underpins a very large fraction of all e-commerce. Stripe one day will be really too big to fail.
- bacon_waffle 6y agoMy partner cooked for the very-early Stripe crew, and has shared some of her fond memories from that time with them. pc - No telling when we'll get back up to CA, but there's buffalo chicken mac 'n cheese on offer :).
