Stripe reposted this
A massive thank you to Patrick Collison and John Collison for hosting me for their fireside chat to share the Speechify story at Stripe all-hands. What's always resonated with me about Patrick and John is how customer obsessed they've been since Day 1. There's the famous story of how during Y Combinator they would ask fellow founders to pull out their laptops and set up Stripe for payments right there on the spot. As they've grown to now thousands of teammates and millions of customers, that customer obsession remains. They're still hungry to know what can be improved. They invite customers to tell them what they need to work in front of the whole company. It's no surprise that in the AI era, they've remained the leader, helping support token-based business models that AI companies need to serve customers. As Speechify has evolved to serve professionals and companies in 200+ countries, paying with a wide set of currencies, Stripe has also made our global expansion as smooth as possible. We're lucky to have grown up with Stripe, to have expanded with Stripe, and to have entered the AI & now agent era with Stripe. Congrats Patrick, John, Jay Shah, Maia Josebachvili, and team for powering a staggering 1.6% of Global GDP. We're forever grateful. – Written with Speechify Voice Typing
