affirmed the importance of liberty, and PublicSquare is at the
forefront of this movement. As a director, I’m committed to the
long-term success of this important mission for our customers,
merchants, and shareholders.
Willie Langston commented, “The opportunity to build on
PublicSquare’s early success as a high-growth start-up company is
compelling from a strategic and governance perspective. As both a
director and a shareholder, I believe there is significant value to
be unlocked based on the early wins of building a growing,
networked marketplace for pro-America small businesses, an
uncancellable payments stack, and a leading position in the
underserved firearms financing and payment processing space. I am
pleased to contribute to the company’s governance and strategic
direction as a board member.”
