Is it just me or has Stripe come out with like 4 new products in the last month?

Damn -- 4 products in the last week.

[nikolay]

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

[amelius]

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

[arthurcolle]

still a bummer they got rid of their Stripe Crypto offering

[jonespen]

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/14052064129473822...

I think the push of announcements is linked to Stripe Sessions: 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?

[edgeform]

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

[atatatat]

It should almost NEVER be.

[moooo99]

But unfortunately, it often is

[nicoburns]

Isn't that a worst-case scenario? The last thing we want is mire consolidation in the tech industry.

[solarkraft]

Aren’t they a bit big for that now?

[atatatat]

That doesn't matter anymore, it seems.

See: Disney portfolio

[yashap]

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.

[judge2020]

Although, I wouldn’t be surprised if Apple petitioned to buy Disney (market cap ~320B, Apple Cash on hand ~200B)

[ksec]

I mean why would they?

Especially when Apple has Apple Pay. Which is sort of a competitor.

[colinmcd]

They're announcing these in anticipation for Stripe Sessions, a two-week developer conference of sorts. [0]

Impending IPO?

[ksec]

“We still have no plans to IPO,” Collison said. [1]

[ronyfadel]

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.

[ffggvv]

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.

[agnesv]

Not just you, saw multiple of their new products on HN
