The way I think about Stripe's mission: if we can increase the GDP of the internet by even a tiny fraction, that's a huge deal for the world.

The world is not yet fully wired. Most of the economic activity that will happen on the internet hasn't started yet.

Twenty percent of the internet's web traffic flows through our network every day. We didn't plan to become critical infrastructure. It just happened.

The internet is the greatest tool for the democratization of information the world has ever seen. And the people who want to control it are scared of that.

The internet is the most important thing since the invention of the printing press.

The internet has become the world's largest unregulated playground, and women are often paying the price.

Read, write, own. That's the progression of the internet. We're entering the third era.

Web3 gives users property rights on the internet. For the first time, you can own your digital stuff.

Network effects are the most powerful force in business. Find the category where they apply and build before anyone believes it matters.

Indian internet took 10 years longer than everyone expected. The founders who survived until it arrived became very wealthy. The ones who gave up did not.

The internet was supposed to make markets more efficient and more fair. In local search, it is currently doing the opposite.

Net neutrality matters because the internet only works as a level playing field. The moment you allow tiered access, you've changed the internet fundamentally.

Maybe we're the only venture capital in the region that experienced the delta of around 110 million internet users.

We're happy that we are at the right time, in the right place, and making the right investment.
