On today’s episode, we sit down with Jim McKelvey. Jim is the co-founder of Square, a financial services, merchant services aggregator, and mobile payment company. In 2009, Jim designed a card reader which in 2011 was inducted into the Museum of Modern Art. Jim then teamed with other St. Louis-based serial entrepreneurs to help found Cultivation Capital which was ranked the 7th most active venture capital firm founded since 2009, and the 3rd most active lead investor and since 2017, McKelvey has been appointed as an Independent Director of the St. Louis Federal Reserve.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • About Jim’s new book “The Innovation Stack: Building an Unbeatable Business One Crazy Idea at a Time”
  • The incredible story of how he first met Jack Dorsey (cofounder of Twitter) and how they built Square together
