The Stripe Mafia

The Stripe Mafia has raised more than $110 Billion in total funding 🤯

And the alumni list behind that number is even crazier:

While the term "Mafia" generally carries a negative connotation, Accel uses it to describe a vast network of second-generation startups — aka unicorn factories.

They grow worldwide because of strong personal connections, deep experience, and shared success stories gained after working in great companies.

In the fast-paced FinTech scene, few stories are as compelling as the emergence of the "Stripe Mafia".

Much like the famed PayPal Mafia that produced tech luminaries like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, Stripe's alumni have had — and continue to have — a major impact across the startup ecosystem.

It's no coincidence that Stripe alumni tend to build companies that solve massive infrastructure problems, whether in AI, climate, or DevOps.

They bring the "Collison DNA": extreme ambition paired with operational perfectionism.

The Stripe Mafia has now raised more than $110 Billion in total funding.
