  Damn -- 4 products in the last week.

    Terminal is not a new product - only Stripe Reader is. The other readers are made by third parties.

    I wonder what 4 products they come up with next week.

I think the push of announcements is linked to Stripe Sessions: https://sessions.stripe.com/ https://sessions.stripe.com/

With a value of $95B, they are the largest yc alum now. They can afford to invest in building lots of new products.

  I am just dreaming - any big boys - Apple/Google/Amazon talking to them to acquire?

    The end goal of every company doesn't have to be "get acquired by a major tech company".

    Aren’t they a bit big for that now?
    - atatatat 5y ago
      That doesn't matter anymore, it seems. See: Disney portfolio

        I don’t think they’ve ever made a $95 billion acquisition. Marvel, Lucasfilm, Pixar, each ~$4-7 billion. I believe Fox was their biggest acquisition by far, and it was decently close to Stripe, at $71 billion. But yeah, a $95 billion acquisition would be huge, and very rare.

Impending IPO?

I guess this went under the radar (heh), but they also introduced a new React component called Stripe Payment Element, to help with local payment methods around the world: https://twitter.com/jordanstaniscia/status/1405206412947382276 https://twitter.com/jordanstaniscia/status/14052064129473822...

I guess it’s related to the IPO? A good time to scratch off low hanging fruits from your product roadmap to beef up your offering.

They're announcing these in anticipation for Stripe Sessions, a two-week developer conference of sorts. [0] [0] https://sessions.stripe.com/ https://sessions.stripe.com/

think they had their big yearly conference where they announce all their new stuff, so it isnt like they are just madly executing and releasing new products everyday in general.
