No, that is not what happened.

We were partnering with Stripe on a deal that we originated. They verbally agreed to terms. They then lied about our abilities. So we cut Stripe out, got the deal, and moved on.

The point isn't that competition exists; the point is that Stripe will say one thing and do another. If this is how you live your life, fine, but many people would like to know that Stripe has a history of bad behavior.

Sam is either being intentionally obtuse or hasn't worked in a corporation. The idea that sales is the only department that can partner with other companies is just stupid.

So... a sale? The Stripe staff you were working with were from the sales department?
