Digital payments platform Stripe has yet to lay out plans to go public, but in the meantime the company has thrown past and present employees a line for some liquidity. The tender offer is a decent jump on the company’s valuation from its last secondary sale a year ago, which was valued at $70b. However, Stripe still fell short of its high-watermark $95b valuation back in 2021.
A spokesperson declined to say who is in the secondary round except to confirm that it is “largely” existing investors. Past backers of the company number at over 150 investors per PitchBook data. They include General Catalyst, GV, Silver Lake, Atomico, Elon Musk, Salesforce and many more.
