Strong Teams Build Strong Companies

In 2009, a small group of misfits co-founded Square in the middle of a financial crisis. Nobody rational would have bet on us - but we built a multi-billion dollar public company.

What I learned is that the misfits were right. Great teams, great processes, and great products are the bedrock of every company worth building. Get these right, and durable companies follow.

That's what I've believed across every company I've built since. It's also what still gets me out of bed. I work with a small number of founders at a time. Let's talk.
