Cloud Services Company Founder Visits MTA

On Monday April 27, entrepreneur Adam Moisa, the founder and CEO of Agora (a cloud services company) visited MTA during lunch to speak to a group of students interested in business. Adam founded his company, which enables users to aggregate their various cloud storage accounts, while an undergraduate student at YU’s Sy Syms School of Business. During the presentation, which was sponsored by the MTA LEAD Program for Entrepreneurship, Adam challenged the students to think about frustrations that they often experience in any part of life, and then think about ways they may be able to help alleviate that frustration. With Adam’s direction, the students then collaborated in analyzing the suggestions. For example, Yair Caplan (‘17), expressed the common problem of holding both a plate of food and a cup while standing at a Kiddush. The students considered various ways as to how this problem could be solved, mainly revolving around the design of the plate. Zvi Fermaglich (‘18) brought up the problem of getting the shower temperature right; the group then discussed ideas revolving around automatic temperature regulation.

Adam continued to fascinate the crowd with examples of his own experiences as a young and ambitious entrepreneur, and provided the students with advice as to how they could get started with a business, using their ideas. Many of the boys left the room envisioning their own startup!
