just because a startup is doing something payment related does not mean “direct competitor to Stripe”

and one of the two I saw hooks into Stripe as part of the service. the other was doing something internationally and also was not directly competitive.

FWIW Bolt (at least their official corporate LinkedIn, not sure about their founder) refers to Stripe as a "partner": https://www.linkedin.com/posts/bolt-com_the-fintech-50-2021-...

I'm just giving a data point. I don't pretend to know how many "Stripe competitors" YC funds.

Person: How many Stripe competitiors does YC fund?

You: Go here, do this.

Person: That doesn't provide anything meaningful in this context.

You: I don't pretend to know...

Then why present said "data point" at all?
