It's About The People

BLAST FROM THE PAST - John Collison Co-founder of Stripe - July 2013

Published August 11, 2014 by Brian Rose

For the August Summer Break we bring you some of the Greatest Hits of Silicon Real with an interview published over one year ago on July 8, 2013 with John Collison, the co-founder of Stripe, a company that "makes it easy to start accepting credit cards on the web today." The 23 year old is from Limerick, Ireland and sold his first company at age 17 and moved to Silicon Valley. Stripe has received backing from Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Max Levchin, and Sequoia Capital.

Brian Rose

Brian moved to the UK from America thirteen years ago to be an Investment Banker in the City of London. Inspired by the Joe Rogan Experience he quit his job after 10 years and founded London Real in 2011 & Silicon Real in 2013 to create alternative options to conventional media and embrace a more traditional narrative form. Originally from California, Brian studied Mechanical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Finance at the Sloan School of Management.
