Founded OpenAI

Patrick Collison is an Irish entrepreneur who co-founded Stripe with his brother John in 2010 and currently serves as the company's chief executive officer. He dropped out of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to build the payments company, which has grown into a major fintech firm. Collison has since cautioned that his own decision to leave college was driven by what he described as unnecessary urgency, and he has advised students against feeling pressured to make similar choices. He is also listed as an investor in Linear, a software company. Collison has been identified as a billionaire since 2016.
