Brothers John and Patrick Collison, who co-founded payments group Stripe in Silicon Valley: are they set to go public this year? It’s January, so it’s time again to speculate about whether payments group Stripe – founded by the Irish brothers John and Patrick Collison – will go public this year. There’s been a number of articles on financial websites already this month betting that 2024 will be the year Stripe floats. A more compelling reason was published by Tech Crunch (another financial data and news website), which first surveyed a clutch of venture capitalists about which company would float in 2024 – the top pick was Stripe. Tech Crunch also noted figures compiled by Caplight (yet another financial data website), which revealed that “there has been an absolute flurry of buyers looking to get shares in the company in recent months”.
