ABOUT

The people behind Ceya

A small team building a simple way to see who’s around you, and who you already share a friend with.

WHY CEYA

Most rooms are full of friends of friends.

Ceya started with a drink spilled on a stranger in Costa Rica. The next night they randomly met again, and found out they had the same close friend in Munich. It took an accident to find out. Most of the time, nobody does.

So Ceya shows you who’s actually around you right now, and who you already share a friend with, so the second conversation can be the first one.

  • Right here, right now

    Ceya shows who’s around you at this moment — not a feed of people from across the city.

  • Friends you share

    See who you already have in common before you say hello, so it never starts from nothing.

  • Visible when you choose

    Everyone nearby, only your friends and theirs, or off. And it switches itself off when your time is up.
