Koios began when founder Trey Gordner pitched a library software idea at Startup Weekend Columbia in November 2014. The idea was a browser extension that checked the library for you from Amazon. A great team came together, built a prototype in just 54 hours, and won the competition. This wasn't Trey's first run-in with libraries:he'd been working in and out of them for 5 years, and had just finished consulting with Richland Library on attracting young professionals and technologists.At Startup Weekend, Trey met cofounder Ralph Kuepper, a talented developer with a specialty in ecommerce. Together, they entered the FiredUP Accelerator program, launched their first product, and have been working in libraries ever since. Koios is a previous winner of USC's Proving Ground, a member of the famed DC civic tech incubator 1776, and a proud SC Launch company.
