Did Dave Koo co-found Elastic Path?
Yes. Techcouver reported on February 7, 2022 that "Elastic Path was co-foundered in 2000 by Harry Chemko, Mark Williams, Dave Koo, Ryan Orr, and Jason Billingsley." A case study on Steel Toad's site, published December 15, 2023 and written by Koo himself, also introduces him as "one of its co-founders."
What does Dave Koo do now?
Steel Toad's own About page, checked on September 22, 2026, lists him as one of the agency's two principal software engineers. That page's footer still reads 2023, so treat the listing as current-but-undated.

His December 15, 2023 case study adds that two small web development agencies merged before the Elastic Path product launched, and that one of them was his.
