About
We started Circa because students kept missing events they would have loved, and organizers putting effort into things that barely seen. Existing tools, Instagram, GroupMe, flyers, email blasts, were not built for this. They were built for attention, not for showing up.
We believe campus communities are strongest when students are present with each other. Our job is to make it easier to find those moments.
What it is
Circa is a campus events platform. Students find, create, and RSVP to events at their school, scoped to their campus, no algorithm, no noise. Organizers can reach people who actually want to show up.
Why we are building it
Campus events are scattered. Flyers get ignored. Group chats go quiet. The right people miss what is happening because there is no single honest place to look.
Circa fixes that. One feed, your campus, what is actually going on this week.
How we are building it
We are building Circa in public, sharing decisions, tradeoffs, and progress as it happens. No stealth launch. If you want to follow along, the build log is on the home page.
When does it launch
We are launching one campus at a time. When enough students from a school join the waitlist, that is where we go first, so nobody shows up to an empty feed on day one.
What we believe
1. Campus first
Circa is built for one campus at a time: your school, your calendar, your people, not a global feed or a popularity contest.
2. Less vanity, more community
Too much social media is "look at me." Circa is for finding what to go to and who you will see there.
3. Respect your privacy
Transparency and care with your data, with clear limits on who can see what.
4. Pay it forward
When you share an event or bring a friend, you help the whole campus find something worth showing up to, not just your group chat.
5. Kindness never hurt anyone
Kindness matters. We are all trying to show up and belong on the same campus.
6. Your time is important
Clear, easy-to-use design that cuts noise and gets you to the right event faster.
