After business school, Cyrus began his career in M&A banking in the tech sector. From this perch, he first became interested in the growing ecosystem of services enabled via a smartphone. Upon noticing that the entryways of many multitenant buildings restricted access to these services, he created ButterflyMX to provide secure, convenient, and affordable property access from a smartphone.

Cyrus received his MBA from The University of Chicago Booth School of Business and his undergraduate degree from Macalester College. Cyrus lives in Brooklyn, New York
