A collection of ideas shaping our work in 2025
Our favourite ideas from 2024, and a look ahead at Frames to come.
At Stripe Partners, we take pride in delivering insights and fresh approaches to understanding the intersection of business and technology.
Last year, Frames helped us think differently about AI and health innovation, and urged us to consider how to build technology more responsibly.
2025 is shaping up to be even more fascinating. We're expanding our focus to explore more themes shaping our industry, including financial technologies and gaming.
While Frames continues to be our monthly newsletter shedding light on a business challenge through the lens of a compelling framework, we also regularly share thought provoking Viewpoints articles on our website.
In this special edition, we’d like to share the most essential Viewpoints we wrote in 2024. We’ve selected these because they’re helping us tackle some of the biggest topics and questions headed into the new year.
Future of AI
As AI is being integrated in all corners of daily life, where is it best suited to genuinely enhance human experiences?

Understanding the next generation
Businesses strive to design with the needs of future generations in mind. Our research highlights how Gen Z perspectives vary widely across cultures. In India, where Gen Z and younger make up 40% of the population, their outlook differs significantly from Western markets.
