John Collison Biography

John Collison is the co-founder and president of Stripe, a global technology company that develops economic infrastructure for the internet. Alongside his brother Patrick Collison, he transformed Stripe from a developer-focused payments tool into a multi-product platform used by startups, Fortune 500 companies, and large marketplaces to accept payments, manage subscriptions, and expand internationally. As president, Collison has been involved in product strategy, international expansion, and the company’s work with regulators and financial institutions, shaping the landscape of modern online commerce at scale.

Before Stripe, Collison co-founded the online payments startup Auctomatic, which provided tools for power sellers on platforms such as eBay and was acquired by Live Current Media. This early entrepreneurial experience in the fintech industry set the foundation for Stripe’s creation. At Stripe, Collison has led initiatives beyond payments, including tools for billing, fraud prevention, and business formation, establishing the company as a core component of the digital economy.

Collison is a frequent public speaker and commentator on technology, entrepreneurship, and the global economy. He has appeared at major conferences, on broadcast and online platforms, and in interviews, discussing topics such as scaling high-growth companies, building for developers, and expanding economic access through improved financial infrastructure. His analytical approach and operational experience have made him a recognized voice among engineers, founders, policymakers, and business leaders.

Collison has been profiled by major business and technology outlets and regularly participates in discussions about innovation, regulation, and the role of software in transforming finance. He has addressed the challenges of hypergrowth, hiring, and navigating complex financial systems across jurisdictions, offering insights on resilience and long-term company-building. Through his work at Stripe and public engagement, Collison is closely associated with the concept that the internet can lower barriers to entrepreneurship when supported by robust infrastructure.
