Nick Casias, a graduate of the University of Colorado Boulder, is making waves in the sports betting industry with his co-founded app, Bet-Ya. The goal of the app is to make betting with friends easier and less confrontational. Prior to his work with Bet-Ya, Casias owned 303 Party Bus.

With Bet-Ya, Casias is offering an alternative to the traditional method of sports betting with friends, which can often come with awkward conversations about paying up. Bet-Ya sends automatic reminders to losers to pay up and has a social feed where users can engage with and share other people's bets.

Casias is looking for like-minded investors to partner with to help grow the app and bring it to more users. He can be reached via LinkedIn or through his personal email and phone number.
