Geekatoo

Geekatoo was a Walnut Creek, California on-demand, in-home technology support marketplace that connected consumers to a nationwide network of vetted local technicians for computer repair, network troubleshooting, TV mounting, and home-theater/smart-home installation using a fixed-price and competitive-bid model positioned as an alternative to retail services like Geek Squad. Founded in 2013, it went through the 500 Startups accelerator (sixth batch) and raised roughly $2.2M from backers including 500 Startups, CRCM Venture Capital, DeNA, MicroVentures, and Wefunder. In May 2016 Geekatoo merged with Los Angeles-based HelloTech to form one of the largest on-demand in-home tech support networks in the US; the standalone Geekatoo brand and website (geekatoo.com) are no longer operational. This API Evangelist profile is a 500 Global portfolio lead retained for historical record; the enrichment pipeline found no live developer surface, API, or documentation to harvest.

Geekatoo is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Tech Support, On-Demand Services, Home Services, and Marketplace.
