We’ve rolled out improvements to @stripe Directory to make it easier to find the best companies to help you and your agent: 1. Available to all businesses, builders, and agents. Stripe-powered or not. You (or your agent) can install the Stripe CLI and immediately run `stripe directory search` to find the right solution. No Stripe account login required. 2. Instant business listings: When you make your Stripe profile public, there’s no longer a 24 hour lag to appear in search results. Builders and agents will be able to find you immediately. 3. MCP listings: Stripe profiles that support MCP will now have their endpoints included in search results. Filter results by MCP only via --mcp-supported too! And to help agents find agent-ready businesses easier, we’ve given results with MCP or MPP endpoints a small boost in the results rankings. What would you like to see next in Stripe Directory? Let us know in the replies. A few ideas we’re considering: * Business health metrics factoring into results * Curated lists by third parties * Offering physical goods in the results and buying them via agentic commerce If any of those interest you, my DMs are open or email us at directory@stripe.com!

I went back on @mattturck’s podcast to talk about the state of the AI economy from Stripe's front-row seat, and how we’re building the economic infrastructure for AI. Empowering agents, monetizing tokens, vibe-deployment, token theft, and how company-building is changing.

Most of us judge a book by its cover before we've read a single page. That makes cover design a pretty special craft—and one of the many reasons it was so fun to have a Cheeky Chat with Pablo about his work designing the covers of Stripe Press books!

More startups are forming today, and fewer are shutting down within their first year. Since the VC winter of 2022, Stripe Atlas incorporations have grown 92% and the one-year shutdown rate has fallen 16 percentage points.

After seven extraordinary years building Stripe's go-to-market engine, I'm stepping into a new role: Vice Chair of @stripe. As Vice Chair, I'll represent the company with business, government, and policy leaders around the world, alongside @patrickc and @collision. The internet economy is at an inflection point. Governments, regulators, and multilateral bodies are making once-in-a-generation decisions about how digital commerce is regulated and enabled—decisions that will set the operating conditions for entrepreneurs for decades. Stripe serves millions of businesses in nearly every country on earth. We have both the standing and the responsibility to shape those decisions. That's what I'll be doing: engaging heads of government, trade bodies, and global business leaders to advocate for decisions that advance entrepreneurship and increase the economic dynamism that too many parts of the world have been starved of. I've spent the last 25 years of my career building things, teams, markets, relationships. This next chapter is about using all of that on behalf of the businesses that trust Stripe to power their growth. As I start this new role, I'm delighted to have @tybryson take over as Stripe's Chief Revenue Officer. Tyler brings two decades of experience building, scaling, and leading revenue-generating teams and has had a tremendous impact leading our Americas business. He knows our customers, understands what they need and we’re all very excited for his leadership as Stripe’s CRO.
