John Collison cofounded of one of the most valuable private companies in the country: Stripe. Together, John and his brother Patrick took what seemed like a simple idea - making it frictionless for Internet companies to accept payments online - and built a fintech company that once fetched a $100 billion valuation. Though that valuation has fallen to a still-stratospheric $70 billion, Collison and his team are still expanding the company and its offerings - while continuing to shrug off the question of an IPO. In this episode of "The David Rubenstein Show: Peer to Peer Conversations," David sits down with John Collison, Cofounder and President of Stripe. This interview was recorded June 11 in New York.

This interview was recorded July 15 in Washington, DC.
