Geckoboard, the trading name of Datachoice Solutions Ltd,[1] is a British software company founded by Paul Joyce in 2010 and headquartered in London, United Kingdom.[2] The company runs a subscription service, where customers can create live KPI dashboards.[3]
Products[edit]
Geckoboard is a self-serve dashboard tool which visualizes live data from over 80 different data sources including Google Analytics, Salesforce and Zendesk. The product enables users to build live KPI dashboards with a WYSIWYG editor, which can then be displayed on a desktop, phone or TV screen.[4]
History[edit]
Geckoboard was founded by Paul Joyce in 2010, who saw a need to make data more visible and accessible to company decision makers.[5] He developed an alpha version of a web-based dashboard tool called Geckoboard, which he first shared publicly on Hacker News.[6]
Geckoboard raised £300,000 of seed funding in 2011 and a further £1.5 million in 2012.[7] In the same year, Geckoboard was named by the Guardian newspaper as one of East London’s 20 hottest tech startups.[8]
In 2015, Geckoboard published a report on mushroom management, which revealed that over three quarters of UK and US workers don’t trust bosses who fail to share company data.[9] The report also found that over 90% of workers would rather hear bad news than no news at all.[10]
In 2017, Geckoboard published a report, which showed a third of companies that IPO subsequently trade beneath their initial valuation.[11]
In 2021, Tom Randle was appointed as CEO of Geckoboard, with Paul Joyce moving to the position of Executive Chair.[12]
