Meet the Presenter: Israel Squires
Israel Squires is a cofounder of Midpoint Consulting. He is an M&A/securities lawyer turned AI software entrepreneur. Having created products, sold products and procured venture capital from some of the world’s most advanced markets, he brings a global view to building and scaling businesses.
Before founding Midpoint, Israel scaled an AI startup in Asia that utilized a machine learning photo and video recognition system to recognize retail items in social content. Before that, he built a communications and analytics-tracking platform that allowed sports organizations to centralize communications with both internal and external stakeholders in a way that provided real-time prediction in order to increase efficiencies. He brought this foundational system 0-1 at twenty-three years old, while practicing M&A/securities law in Madison, WI.
Israel and cofounder, Devvan Stokes, started Midpoint in 2021 where they began investing and working with early-stage AI founders in a venture studio style deployment. While they were willing the bet everything on AI, they did not expect ChatGPT to be the catalyst for what has become the AI movement today. They shifted to providing AI consulting services in 2022 and have quickly become a leading consulting company in the Midwest. They have built industry-changing technologies and consulted some of the region’s largest companies.
Israel earned his bachelor’s degree from Concordia University-St. Paul while being a 3-year starter on the football team and earning ESPN All-American status. He earned his Juris Doctorate from the University of Wisconsin-Madison Law School.
