Who we are
At 42Geeks, we organize an invite-only tour where we bring a fun group of founders, executives, and investors to visit startup ecosystems around the world, to meet and connect with tech companies, governments, and ecosystem builders. Formerly known as Geeks on a Plane (GOAP) and started by Silicon Valley investor Dave McClure, the trips were relaunched as 42Geeks by Dave and serial entrepreneur Chok Ooi in 2022.

“I've done over 7 Geeks trips in the past decade, 5 times as a participant and twice as a co-host, and it was life-changing. I've built a powerful network of clients for my first business, raised funding from the group for my second company, and also found many mentors and a board member from the trips. But most importantly, I now have great friends all around the world and attended the wedding of a fellow Geek in Italy last year, who I've met 7 years ago on the trip."
