McKelvey is best known for co-founding Square in 2009 and the company has revolutionized the way businesses take payments. His newest endeavor, Invisibly, works to monetize online content and create positive experiences for consumers and marketers.
McKelvey also gives back to the technology community and helps people find jobs in the industry with his non-profit, LaunchCode. His lofty profile in the St. Louis business community led to being named the independent director of the St. Louis Federal Reserve in 2017.
McKelvey is also passionate about glass blowing and is the author of the definitive text on the subject, The Art of Fire. He also fosters interest in the art form through his Third Degree Glass Factory.
