Jim McKelvey, Co-Founder of Square & Invisibly, creating the Square reader & controlling your data!

Jim McKelvey co-founded Block with Jack Dorsey after realizing it was difficult for him to take credit card transactions for glassblowing art he created. Jim's brilliance enabled him to create the iconic card reader that plugged into your audio jack within weeks and the two scaled the company to what it is today! Jim is now building Invisibly, a company focused on helping you not only be in control but also monetize your data instead of others doing it for you automatically. He wants the process to be as seamless as possible, almost invisible, and the more that join the greater earnings that can come from the collective whole. He has also written a well respected book on bringing disruptions to the market called The Innovation Stack which you should check out. Jim shares how the idea for Square originated, what went into creating the reader, how design can make the difference in success, why he wanted to build Invisibly, how the system works, and what he new launch is all about!
