Why this fintech CEO said NO to Stripe —
and shocked the entire industry. 💀🔥

When everyone else was rushing to integrate,
he paused and asked a dangerous question:
“Does this make us dependent… or independent?”

Stripe was faster.
Stripe was proven.
Stripe was the obvious choice.

And that’s exactly why he walked away.

He didn’t want convenience.
He wanted control.

Owning the core infrastructure meant slower starts,
harder decisions,
and way more pressure early on —
but it also meant no gatekeepers later.

Great companies don’t optimize for what’s easy.
They optimize for what keeps them sovereign at scale.

Short-term speed is tempting.
Long-term leverage is rare.

Sometimes the smartest move isn’t partnering with the giant —
it’s building so strong that you never need them. 🚀🔥
