Stripe's publishing imprint — producing carefully curated books on technology, economics, and progress that reflect Stripe's intellectual values and commitment to 'increasing the GDP of the internet.'
Technology company as publisher: Stripe Press represents an unusual model — a payments company commissioning and publishing books on subjects it cares about as a form of intellectual culture-building rather than marketing. Publications include WPA travel guides republication, An Elegant Puzzle (Will Larson), The Making of the Atomic Bomb (Rhodes, reprinted), and new books by Tyler Cowen. The press's physical quality (design, paper, binding) signals seriousness. A case study in brand building through intellectual investment.
