“Cirqa” is looking to solve a problem that is growing amongst society, especially younger generations immersed in online realities. In today’s age of Facebook newsfeeds, virtual classrooms, email-centric workflows, and online-dating services, people are losing what it means to interact in person. The old adage of “gift and a curse” is particularly applicable to technology in recent times. Sure we can find grade school friends and now follow their lives hundreds of miles away; but, do we really need to know what they ate for breakfast? Do we need to know every book they’ve ever read, or find out they broke up with their fianc� through an automated feed? How far will people go before their entire lives revolve around “logging in”?

Cirqa consists of the cooperative effort of four former NYU classmates who are dedicated to coupling enterprise with social progress. Each with an entrepreneurial penchant, and all having realized early professional success, our founders came together to pool their experience, skills and expertise.

Jayson graduated NYU’s Stern School of Business with majors in Finance and Information Systems. He currently serves one of the largest banks on the Street as an Assistant Vice President in the Technology area.
