The argument that Stripe was a black swan comes because getting into established industries with significant regulation used to be considered dead on arrival, now it's hip.

That's the heroic narrative used by investors like Sam, but I don't believe it.

Keep in mind Stripe's original name was /dev/payments. If you do some research you'll see they were in a pretty bad spot right until they opened publicly as Stripe.
