Launch of Stripe Cross-Border Commerce community

# Networking

Welcome to the first event from the Stripe Cross-Border Community.

This community brings together business owners, founders, operators, and builders working across borders to share what’s working, learn from each other’s experiences, and explore how to grow and operate internationally.

At this first online meetup, we’ll introduce ourselves, set the direction for the community together, and kick off with a conversation about cross border growth, the markets you’re entering, the challenges you’re facing, and the opportunities you’re exploring. No long presentations, just a real conversation with people working across markets who are figuring out the same things you are.

Who’s it for?

Business owners, operators, founders, and builders working in cross border commerce, payments, technology, and international expansion, whether you already use Stripe, are exploring the ecosystem, or simply want a peer community to come back to.

We’ll introduce ourselves and share what we’re building, the markets we’re focused on, and what brought us to the community. We’ll then discuss the key opportunities and challenges we’re seeing in cross border business.
