The big winner here is not Braintree (though all the founders and current investors are to be congratulated) but Stripe. PC & Co, keep at it :)



Thanks! We will :).

(Today belongs to Braintree, as you say -- congrats to all of the folks connected with the company.)


Braintree, check, Ogone, Check. Who is next?


Klarna


Right now Braintree is a big winner. They built a great alternative and successfully exited. Longer term it does make things very favorable for Stripe.


they built an alternative and ended up at where they are supposed to be alternative to.. that doesn't sound like a big winner to me


I was referring to winning in terms of being a business. Yes we all hate seeing them swallowed by PayPal but at the end of the day it was a business, not some organization trying to do social good.


unless they change PayPal for the better. If PayPal ends up more Braintree than before, I'd say Braintree got a nice exit and accomplished their goals.


I agree, I hope Stripe continues to prosper and grow as a great company.
