Early in 2013, I had just joined @Square, working out of @jessewilson ’s basement in our “Canadian office” when @crazybob called asking if we wanted to help with this prototype he was starting to build. That was the beginning of the Cash App! 1/2

1/ I think @faire_wholesale is (still) hugely undervalued at $12b. They’ve identified an incredibly valuable wedge to absolutely massive markets and are just getting started.
[I’m not an investor, I just admire how they are solving big problems]
