Stripe brings aboard new head of ‘startup and VC partnerships’

Asya Bradley, a former fintech founder and investor, has recently joined the payments giant Stripe as the new head of Startup & Venture Capital Partnerships.

Bradley shared the news on LinkedIn on February 2, although her bio indicates that she actually started at Stripe in November.

Neither Bradley nor Stripe were able to provide immediate comments.

Having previously served as the chief revenue officer of Synapse until its closure in 2024, Bradley brings a wealth of experience in the fintech industry.

Following her time at Synapse, Bradley held roles at Sila, igniteXL Ventures, and co-founded Kinly, which was later acquired by Greenwood.

Apart from her professional roles, Bradley is also involved in various venture funds and initiatives to promote diversity in investing.

Stripe’s startup partner program aims to provide exclusive benefits to portfolio companies through collaborations with venture capital firms and startup accelerators.

In recent years, Stripe has been actively acquiring startups, with notable acquisitions like Bridge and Lemon Squeezy.
