Kostas Theodorou
Co-founder and Head Developer

Founding Story
The team had worked remotely since 2009 and found conventional status meetings slow and ineffective. When Slack and Slackbots gained traction in 2015, they built a chatbot to collect individual status updates and broadcast them to the team; Geekbot began as an internal tool, then became a product after they recognized other remote and distributed teams had the same problem.
