No longer operating — The company's own history says it wound down; kahootshq.com is NXDOMAIN, checked 2026-09-22, and two searches for an acquisition found none. The dead domain dates the check, not the dissolution.

About

Kahoots (KahootsHQ) was a skills-matching and team-building marketplace founded around 2014 by Allison Rhodes and Kaylie Greaves, master's students at Ryerson University, and incubated at the DMZ. Users posted a project and the specific skills they were looking for, and contributors browsed a project board to connect. It has since wound down. It is unrelated to the Kahoot! quiz platform.
