Starbucks gave them $25 million. Square lost $71 million on the deal so far and it won&#x27;t be done for another year. So Starbucks got discounted payments, plus equity in Square, plus a board seat. (Looking at it another way: Square got a loan at nearly a 100% annual interest rate plus loss of equity.)<p>As for &quot;visibility&quot; they tried to promote the Square app to pay at Starbucks, nobody used it, and they killed that in 2014.<p>&quot;This is an epic partnership&quot; - Jack Dorsey, 2012.
