Stripe appoints new head of startup and VC partnerships

Asya Bradley was appointed as the head of Stripe’s Startup and Venture Capital Partnerships program.

She announced her new position on Feb. 2 via a LinkedIn post, though her bio shows she joined Stripe back in November.

Stripe partners with venture capital firms and startup accelerators to support portfolio companies through this initiative.

Bradley previously served as chief revenue officer at fintech company Synapse, vice president of revenue at Sila, and co-founded the financial services startup Kinly.

She is also a limited partner in several funds, like Cowboy Ventures and Ganas Ventures, and serves on the investment committee for the Cap Table Coalition.

In recent years, Stripe has made acquisitions, including Lemon Squeezy, and is reportedly in talks to acquire stablecoin platform Bridge for US$1 billion.
