A stealth payments startup called Stripe scored $2 million of venture funding today from an estimable group of investors, including PayPal’s founders.
Here’s all TechCrunch could establish about it:
It’s an online business to business and business to consumer payments provider, we’ve confirmed. “How is it different than PayPal or Google Checkout?” I asked someone who’s seen the product. Their answer – “It doesn’t suck.”
I’m not sure Stripe’s PayPal founders-investors would appreciate that description.
Go to Stripe.com to get notifications on the launch. We’ll keep you updated on the service as more becomes known about it. Meanwhile, we’ll try not confusing “Square” and “Stripe” (which is not easy for us).
