Since about 1st of August, I have held the position of chief technology officer (CTO) in Koostoo! Koostoo is an early stage startup focused on enabling intergenerational cooperation through co-living.

Now given it’s an early stage startup, I could have called myself anything. But in my experience, titles like “Techno Wizards of the land of Coffee” lose their humour pretty quickly. So plain old CTO will have to do. Our goal with Koostoo is to build a platform that connects students in need of low-cost housing with seniors who have a spare room, and who could benefit from a bit of extra support. We also aim to build a community with our platform.

We have had some success in the three months we have been up and running. You can read more about Koostoo, and our successes to date, in my article on Medium!
