"Sew your quilt together, sew your life together" The Doan family started a quilt company in Hamilton, MO, population 1,800. At first, it was a way to help pay the mortgage. But it quickly outgrew its original goal—in the last 10 years, it's become the biggest provider of quilting fabric in the world, a veritable global fabric empire with more than 400 employees and customers in dozens of countries. Along the way, they helped revitalize a town that had been left downtrodden after jobs had dried up.
Stripe makes it possible for entrepreneurs like the Doans to start internet businesses and accept online payments from customers around the world. But this is just one step in our mission to be a platform for economic opportunity. By building software tools and economic infrastructure that make it easy to turn ambitious ideas into successful, fast-growing businesses, we hope to make the internet economy more accessible for more people.
