About Block
Jack Dorsey, founder and CEO of Twitter, started Square in 2009. Now called Block, with Square being its flagship tool, the company aims to democratize the business world, making it a less complex environment for young business and entrepreneurs. The original Square card reader was the first of many of the company's innovations. Today, Block is the parent company of many big-name brands, including Square, Cash App, Afterpay, Tidal, Bitkey, and Proto. Block has opened up a world of opportunity to anyone with a bright idea looking to start a business.
Block went public in November 2015 and continues to grow financially (it generated more than $5 billion in revenues each quarter) and strategically (it’s constantly rolling out new tools and ideas). Cash App, the peer-to-peer payment app, was created by the team at Block.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, cashless and virtual payment options became an essential part of our daily lives, helping people stay safer and healthier. Cashless payments have increased across the globe. Out of both necessity and innovation, the economy is going virtual, and Block is leading the way.
