Summary Report
Stripe finalizes a $7B acquisition of OpenRouter, over 5x the startup's valuation from just 82 days earlier.
- 01. For Stripe, a payments company, it's a bet that AI model routing and payments infrastructure are converging into the same layer of the stack
- 02. Another sign of just how much cash is chasing the unglamorous plumbing underneath AI products, not just the flagship models
Stripe has finalized an agreement to acquire OpenRouter, the startup that lets companies switch between different AI models, for more than seven billion dollars - over five times the $1.3 billion valuation OpenRouter raised money at just 82 days earlier.
