Meet Circa, The Stealthy ?News Experience? Startup From Ben Huh And SimpleGeo Founder Matt Galligan

Circa.As we heard in August, SimpleGeo founder Matt Galligan left the company to pursue other interests. SimpleGeo was then?bought by UrbanAirship in November, and fellow co-founder Joe Stump left the newly acquired startup to start his own venture, Sprintly. Galligan recently announced that he teamed up with Shervin Pishevar to launch their new organization 1% of Nothing, which is aimed at inspiring early-stage companies and entrepreneurs to donate 1% of their equity to a cause of their choice. And it looks like Galligan may have another startup up his sleeve?Circa. According to this AngelList posting, Galligan is teaming up with Cheezburger founder and CEO, Ben Huh, to launch Circa. Huh will take a non-operational role, but will be an advisor and on the board of directors. Details on what Circa is are unclear but it appears that the startup will be focusing on disrupting the news and content space. From the posting, We want to create the best news experience by optimizing for truths, encouraging diversity, and empowering the readers.
