I love Stripe and everything about it: their main product, docs, website, risk-taking with new products. They are one of the very, very few net-positive VC-backed companies to come out of Silicon Valley. I'm going to be sad when they go public though and things inevitably start changing for the worst. I hope the 2 brothers stay active with the company and continue to steer it in a good direction even when all the shareholders are breathing down their necks.

If the fund raises are being done on favourable terms, which is quite likely given they’re likely doing billions in revenue, they probably still maintain voting control. They won’t be subject to much pressure if they are.
