Still my favorite startup office, even when we packed it full enough that I had to crawl over multiple people to get to my desk:

An early photograph of Stripe. They had a wonderful office next to Coupa Cafe in downtown Palo Alto, but they were about to move out because they'd gotten too big. It felt like the end of an era, so I took a picture of them.

My brother and I came to your first hackathon (I lugged my stupid heavy gaming laptop, he sensibly brought a regular computer) and we hung out upstairs on the balcony all afternoon. It was a delightful experience - what a great office!

I wanna know what it smelled like
