Pressure for Stripe float grows as founders' wealth doubles to $23bn Stripe's founders have repeatedly distanced themselves from rumours of a public listing despite a valuation of $95bn 15 March 2021 • 3:20pm Retail investors are clamouring for a float of Stripe, which on Sunday confirmed a new valuation of $95bn, making it more valuable than Facebook and Uber when they were preparing to go public. Fans have set up a website, Did Stripe IPO Yet?, which allows employees to calculate how much they would stand to return in the event of an exit. Stripe’s founders Patrick and John Collison, whose fortunes have more than doubled to $23bn, have repeatedly poured cold water over the idea of it hitting public markets in the near-term.
