Geekli.st is a developer-focused site that lets programmers create profiles containing "cards" for programming-related achievements and micro-achievements. The product relies heavily on Twitter OAuth and displays a stream of other users’ cards via the site interface. The company positioned itself as distinct from LinkedIn and recruiting sites by providing a peer-focused, "safe zone" for developers to brag rather than catering to recruiters. Geekli.st grew from 0 to 10K users in five weeks and already hosts notable profiles such as Evan Weaver and Laurence Gonsalves. CEO Reuben Katz said the financing will be used to hire more developers and to build data analytics and recruiting tools into the product, with potential expansion into other verticals if market demand exists. The company has raised $600K from angel investors to support these plans.
