>IH was apparently very big on financial transparency, yet the principles are being decidedly opaque about financials in this thread.

Financial transparency about profit from a bootstrapped startup is a different from financial transparency about a contract between two parties. Secrecy around the latter is a little more understandable.




Why?


Well, it was Courtland's right to publish his financials when he was the sole proprietor of IH. Now he's a Stripe employee and therefore is governed by their policy on the matter, I assume.


It takes two to tango in the latter
