JumpCloud was founded in 2012 to build an open directory platform replacing legacy Microsoft Active Directory for cloud-first, remote, and multi-OS environments. Its core insight: Active Directory was fundamentally ill-suited to modern IT where employees use Macs, Linux machines, and SaaS apps. JumpCloud's cloud-based directory abstracts identity and device management into a single platform regardless of OS, location, or infrastructure type.\n\nThe platform provides unified IAM, MDM for Mac/Windows/Linux, SSO, MFA, LDAP, RADIUS, and SCIM provisioning from a single console. IT administrators manage the full employee lifecycle across SaaS applications, on-premises resources, and cloud infrastructure without separate tools per OS. Customers include Cars.com, GoFundMe, and Grab across technology, financial services, and global enterprise segments.\n\nJumpCloud reached $200 million in annual revenue in 2024, up from $105.3 million the prior year — approximately 90% year-over-year growth. The company serves 100,000+ organizations and has raised over $400 million from investors including General Atlantic. As IT teams consolidate identity tooling and adopt zero-trust architecture, JumpCloud's platform sits at that intersection, supporting continued expansion into mid-market and enterprise accounts.
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.
