Why this exists
People still want people.
AI can write your email, plan your week, and keep you company at 1 a.m. That’s useful. It is not a substitute for sitting next to someone who laughs at the same thing you do.
After college, after a move, after work ate your weekends, the calendar fills and the circle doesn’t. You don’t need more content. You need a few people who actually show up.
Circya is the missing layer: not a directory of events, not a dating app, not a 200-person mixer. A small group, a real plan, and a second Saturday if it clicks.
We start in San Antonio because that’s home, and because a city this size is perfect for it — big enough to find your people, small enough that a Saturday plan still feels local.
What “find your people” means
Not followers. Not matches. A handful of humans you could text on a Thursday: want to go? That’s the product.
Small on purpose
Five to eight people. Enough to talk. Not enough to hide in the back of a mixer.
Hand-picked
A person reads your answers and puts the group together. No algorithm deciding who you sit with.
A plan, not a feed
Time, place, activity. You never walk into a room and wonder what you’re supposed to do.
Common ground first
Before you meet, you already know what you share. The first sentence is handled.
Show up twice
A circle isn’t one Saturday. The people who click get invited back. That’s how a crew forms.
The name, and the mark
Circya is circle + ya — your circle. The logo is an open C gathering three people. Not a crowd. A cluster. Close-knit on purpose.
The C stays open because a circle you can still join is the whole idea.
Who’s putting this together
That’s me. I read every questionnaire and hand-pick the groups. I won’t be at the coffee shop or on the trail — you don’t need a host sitting there. You need someone who actually chose the people.
Circya is San Antonio first. If you want to talk about a circle, another city, or just say hey, write hello@circya.com.
