$21.2M revenue 2024 (up from $8.2M 2023); $66.5M total funding ($40M Series B Aug 2023); 178 employees; 115+ supported frameworks; customers: Veeva, Fortinet, 3M, Motorola; compliance operations leader
Hyperproof was founded in 2019 by Craig Unger, a former compliance technology executive, to solve the operational inefficiency of enterprise compliance programs — the manual, spreadsheet-heavy process of collecting evidence, mapping controls to frameworks, and managing audit workflows across overlapping regulatory requirements. The company built a compliance operations platform designed to make continuous compliance achievable: rather than scrambling for evidence before an annual audit, teams maintain a live compliance posture against multiple frameworks simultaneously through integrations that automate evidence collection from cloud infrastructure and SaaS tools.\n\nHyperproof's platform provides a centralized control library mapping to 115+ frameworks including SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, FedRAMP, PCI DSS, GDPR, and CMMC. Controls are mapped once and reused across multiple frameworks to eliminate redundant evidence collection. Automated evidence collection integrates with AWS, Azure, GCP, GitHub, Jira, and Okta to pull compliance artifacts without manual effort. Risk management, vendor assessments, and policy management modules extend the platform beyond audit readiness into broader GRC workflows. Customers include Veeva Systems and Flexport.\n\nHyperproof reported $21.2 million in revenue for 2024, up from $8.2 million in 2023 — a 158% year-over-year increase — and has raised $66.5 million in total funding with 178 employees. Rapid growth reflects expanding compliance obligations on technology companies as AI governance frameworks, FedRAMP requirements, and state privacy regulations layer on top of existing security certifications. Hyperproof's automation-first architecture enables compliance program scaling without proportional headcount growth.
Global payments infrastructure founded by Patrick and John Collison (YC W10); $1.4T payments volume in 2024; $18B+ revenue; $106.7B valuation as of Sept 2025; powers everything from startups to Fortune 500 companies with developer-first API design.
Stripe is a global payments infrastructure company founded in 2010 by Irish brothers Patrick and John Collison, headquartered in San Francisco, California and Dublin, Ireland. Stripe was born from the insight that accepting payments online was unnecessarily complex for developers, and that a well-designed API could unlock an entire generation of internet businesses. The company went through Y Combinator's Winter 2010 batch and grew to become the defining payments infrastructure layer of the modern internet economy, processing payments for businesses in virtually every industry worldwide.\n\nStripe's platform provides payment processing, fraud prevention via Stripe Radar, subscription billing, revenue recognition, banking-as-a-service through Stripe Treasury, corporate card issuance, identity verification, and tax compliance tools. It serves a spectrum from early-stage startups to publicly traded enterprises including Amazon, Google, Salesforce, and Shopify. Stripe's developer-first philosophy — comprehensive documentation, SDKs in every major language, and a sandbox testing environment — created an ecosystem of millions of businesses built entirely on its infrastructure.\n\nStripe processed $1.4 trillion in total payment volume in 2024 and generates over $18 billion in annual revenue, with a valuation of $106.7 billion as of September 2025. The company has remained private longer than most comparably sized technology companies, giving it flexibility to invest in long-term product expansion. An April 2024 partnership with Apple Pay extended Stripe's reach further into mobile and in-store commerce. Stripe competes with Adyen, Braintree (PayPal), and Square, but its developer ecosystem depth and global infrastructure make it the default payments platform for a generation of technology companies.
