About the team
Stripe Press publishes ideas for progress in technology, science, and economics because we believe that for many of the most significant breakthroughs in each of these categories, the key ingredient is ideas. We want our work to be tools that inspire optimism, catalyze research and development, increase entrepreneurship, and accelerate progress. Some of our books contain entirely new material, some are collections of existing work reimagined, and others are re-publications of past works that have remained relevant over time or have renewed relevance today.
