Patrick Collison Startup School

We're excited to announce Patrick Collison (@patrickc) as a keynote speaker at Startup School! Patrick co-founded @stripe with his brother John in 2010, and over the years built it into the defining financial infrastructure for the internet economy. Stripe now powers more than 5 million businesses, and in 2025, it generated $1.9 trillion in total volume—roughly 1.6% of global GDP!
