About me
Geoff Schmidt is the co-founder and CEO of Apollo GraphQL, the leader in federated, open source, and commercial GraphQL technologies. The company has raised more than $170 million to build toward its mission of helping app developers help the world. Apollo’s open-source GraphQL client, server, and gateway are downloaded more than 17 million times per month and used in production by more than 30 percent of the Fortune 500. Prior to Apollo, Geoff was the co-founder of Meteor Development Group, the company that developed Meteor.js, an open-source framework for building and deploying web, mobile, and desktop applications in Javascript or TypeScript. At the time, Meteor.js was one of the most popular open source projects in the world, and is still the easiest and fastest way to build full-stack JavaScript apps. Geoff also created Monument, an affordable live/work art event space in downtown San Francisco.
