Founded in 2011 by Kevin Davis (with co‑founder Christian Shelton), Geekatoo operates a fixed‑price service marketplace that matches customers with local technicians for computer and home‑tech support. The company initially used a bounty/bid model and had only about 50 customers in its first three years before switching to fixed pricing after participation in 500 Startups. Geekatoo now sells service contracts and reports response metrics of roughly 60% of jobs claimed within an hour and over 90% within 24 hours. Services include PC and Mac repair, home theater setup, TV mounting and network setup; the company says it handles everything Geek Squad does. Financially, Geekatoo is looking at about a $2 million run rate; it typically gets about $140 per transaction (≈1.2 services per order), spends about $20 to acquire a user, and nets roughly $35–$40 per transaction after paying providers. Geekatoo is pursuing partnerships with retailers and device makers (mentions Tiger Direct, Amazon, Buy.com targets), is piloting with a nationwide senior‑community network, and is in talks to preinstall a Windows 8 app on new devices.
