Stripe History dataset

These YAML files hold the data behind the timeline and the valuation, volume, and revenue pages. Each history entry has a date, title, category, summary, confidence level, and at least one source, plus a status where one applies. The research files hold the source catalog, valuation observations, leadership appearances, the definition of each research collection, and the log of research runs. The dataset and website code are available under the MIT License in the Stripe History repository.
