From a group chat to 150K+ builders

(2023)

Geek Room started in 2023 with one goal: bring together everyone in tech who thinks alike. What began as a WhatsApp group for MSIT students is now a nationwide builder ecosystem spanning 400+ colleges, 20+ campus chapters and 80+ companies.

Along the way we've hit plenty of milestones and built lasting relationships with partners and, above all, with our members.
