Who we are

About Stripe

Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. Millions of companies—from the world’s largest enterprises to the most ambitious startups—use Stripe to accept payments, grow their revenue, and accelerate new business opportunities. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead. That means you have an unprecedented opportunity to put the global economy within everyone’s reach while doing the most important work of your career.

About the team

The Climate team’s mission is to dramatically accelerate the world’s transition to a net zero economy. In 2021, we launched Stripe Climate enabling merchants to direct a fraction of their revenue to help scale emerging carbon removal technologies in just a few clicks. In 2022, we launched Frontier in collaboration with Alphabet, Shopify, Meta, and McKinsey Sustainability. Frontier is an advance market commitment to buy $925M+ of permanent carbon removal by 2030. For our next act, we want to help everyone easily purchase permanent carbon removal from the most innovative suppliers in Frontier’s portfolio. 

To avoid the worst effects of climate change, most climate models agree the world will need around 6 billion tons of carbon removal a year by 2050. If successful, we’ll increase the likelihood that the world has the portfolio of carbon removal solutions needed to reach these climate goals. We need your help!
