Man he is just shooting his views . No filters

[@aaronaBio]

This is great!
I’m more inspired as an aspiring founder!

[@Redo23]

This video has been really insightful and inspired a few ideas for me.

[@asgarshaiko.5684]

Why their is no proper center or call center number from stripe. What is their plan @strip

[@dhanush.priyan]

tamils are really very sharp as compared to all indians (no offence, i myself, am somewhat punjabi)

[@raiseyourinnervoice]

@@01_abhijeet49 They have to or else no ones going to give bat shit about them

[@tech_beetle]

@@01_abhijeet49 I don't think they are sharp or somethinglike that. It's the discipline, schooling, access to quality primary / secondary schools, study and work ethics, hard work and ambitiousness. The other thing is unlike northern india, western and states like karnatak, tamilnadu had literally no good quality jobs till the late 90s which forced them to go abroad.

We are a small UK business that decided to try stripe, we had our account blocked after a month of use, no refunds or payment appeals, no explanation received, funds blocked. I consider it a scam. If you are a small and medium-sized business, I do not recommend it. Scammers

[@factoricum]

It will boom
