In 2015, Songe LaRon and Dave Salvant founded Squire Technologies, a software company for barbershops.

In the years that followed, Squire would grow from a simple booking app to a full-service barber shop backend software with a whopping $750 million avaluation. 

But along the way, Squire would go through several iterations, raise money from a variety of unlikely sources, fall victim to a scam, and even buy a barber shop to save their only client.

On this week’s episode of All Angles, we talk to founders Songe and Dave, head of product development Aram Muradyan, and head of engineering Troy Payne to hear the unique story of how they came together to form Squire and how together they revolutionized the barbershop industry.
