"Jeremy Allaire is the co-founder, chairman and CEO of Circle, a financial technology company that allows businesses to leverage blockchain technology and stablecoins to power payment and business solutions. Allaire founded Circle in 2013, hoping to make digital currencies more accessible to mainstream consumers. Before Circle, he co-founded several companies, including Brightcove and Allaire Corporation (which was acquired by Macromedia). Outside of his work in cryptocurrency, Allaire is also an academic enthusiast and spearheaded an online compilation of Noam Chomsky’s works.

Allaire graduated from Macalester College with a political science and philosophy degree, majoring in economics. During his time at the university, he experimented with using the internet to transform communications and media, back when the internet was just beginning to take form. Much of Allaire’s early work influenced how he views politics, free speech, media and the internet."
