I replied saying I'd be interested in knowing what they're looking for in potential beta partners:
> That is good to hear. All you need to do is follow the instructions listed in my previous email and wait on contact from the Treasury team. I am happy I was able to assist you.
> Thank you for choosing Stripe!
Keep in mind the "instructions" are to fill out the form that got me into this email chain in the first place: in other words there's nothing about what I asked there.
There's the whole "That's good to hear" reply to a question I asked...
And I was especially taken aback by the whole facetious "happy I was able to assist you" bit after completely ignoring my question.

The entire interaction felt like "why are you bothering us", which is honestly would be a fair position if they're looking for established players for example... but why not be direct?
We had other companies flat out say their partners want X million in funding before they'll work with you, and that was fine.
It'd actually take less work than writing out a non-answer like that
