Irish brothers aiming to double Stripe in a year

Stripe is aiming to double in size and expand into new markets in the coming year, as the online payments company founded by Irish brothers Patrick and John Collison, continues its rapid expansion.

The Irish entrepreneurial duo have built Stripe from a two-man operation into a Silicon Valley favourite, employing 320 staff in just five years.

With just a tiny fraction of commerce conducted online, and mobile another growth trajectory yet to be tapped into, the company’s co-founder John Collison sees huge potential for expansion in 2016.
