But wait — what’s a Geekbear?
It all links back to our founder’s ties to UC Berkeley — where he went for his graduate studies, helped lead UC Berkeley’s Entrepreneurship Association and founded Geekbears — and the university’s deep ties
to the tech community. Paying homage to tech’s self-confessed geeks and the school’s mascot, the California Golden Bears, the name Geekbears was born.
