Bio

Caya is one of the three co-founders, and the CEO at Slidebean; overseeing the company roadmap, strategy, and growth marketing efforts. Slidebean is a venture-backed company founded in 2014 and headquartered in New York City. The company closed its first seed round in 2016 and has since become a multi-million dollar, profitable tech company that continues to expand rapidly. Caya has been running tech startups since 2011, which have earned him recognition as a '40-under-40', plus being a guest speaker in over a dozen startup and tech conferences around the world, including TEDx. His experience with startups, from leading and growing a company, to raising capital and participating in accelerator programs such as 500 Startups and DreamIt Ventures gives him a unique insight into the needs of seed-stage companies. Caya's background in graphic design, digital animation, and filmmaking, also make him a fantastic storyteller. He's worked directly with over one thousand Slidebean customers to assist with their pitch deck writing and design.
