History

GeoOp was founded in Auckland, New Zealand in 2009 by Nicholas Bartlett, Benjamin Goudie-Park, Simon Fraser, and Brendan Cervin. [4] In 2010, the company opened an additional office in Sydney, Australia. [5]

In 2011, GEO was awarded the Consensus Software Award for being the most innovative software product in Australia and New Zealand. [6]

In early 2013, Leanne Graham, the former Country Manager of New Zealand-based accounting software company Xero, became GeoOp's new CEO. [7] By mid 2013, GeoOp successfully raised 10 million in private funding. [8] In the following October, GeoOp listed on the small-cap NZAX, becoming a public listed company. [9]

In September 2014, Graham stood down as CEO to become an 'executive strategic adviser' to the company in the USA. The news was followed by an 11% drop in the share price. [10] Anna Cicognani became acting CEO in February 2015. [11]

Geo completed a $2.4m NZD capital raise in August 2015, to pursue growth opportunities in Australia. [12]

In January 2015, GeoOp announced a distribution agreement with MyCloudCure for the United States and Canada. [13]

In Feb 2020 Tim Molloy was appointed CEO.[ citation needed ]

In Nov 2020, Geo announced a capital raise of up to $2m. It was announced that "proceeds from the Raise are intended to be used for general working capital purposes as the Company accelerates its customer acquisition activity." [14]
