US startup and STRV’s client Geekatoo raised [\$1.7 million](http://techcrunch.com/search/geekatoo?ref=strv.ghost.io#stq=geekatoo&stp=1) from various investors, including [500 Startups](http://500.co/?ref=strv.ghost.io). Congratulations! This is a great milestone, and we are glad to be working with such a driven and amazing team.

It all started when STRV was introduced to [Geekatoo](https://www.geekatoo.com/?ref=strv.ghost.io), a fast-growing onsite tech support company, by [Tomáš Laboutka](https://twitter.com/tlaboutka?ref=strv.ghost.io), the CEO of [Hotel Quickly](http://www.hotelquickly.com/?ref=strv.ghost.io), in 2012. A year later, after Geekatoo had gotten involved with 500 Startups, [Christian Shelton](https://twitter.com/4shelton?ref=strv.ghost.io), Geekatoo’s Co-founder, contacted STRV to talk about a mobile development partnership. We developed an iPhone app for them, and now we are working on an Android app.

Geekatoo has an interesting focus. It’s going to go far – just look at the amount of seed money it’s collected so far: $1.7 million is one of the highest amounts raised by a single company participating in 500 Startups. Investors (500 Startups included) trust that Geekatoo is going places and see a great opportunity.

Geek Squad, [Geekatoo’s](https://www.geekatoo.com/?ref=strv.ghost.io) main competitor, was recently bought by BestBuy. So, in regards to innovation, we bet their hands are tied. It’s only a matter of time before Geekatoo overtakes Geek Squad on the market.

Good luck!
