Note: This business is no longer running. It was started in 2007 and ended in 2023. Reason for closure: Acquired by Vivacity Tech.

Hello again! Remind us who you are and what business you started.

My name is Matt McCormick. I founded a company in 2008 to fix broken cell phones, tablets, and computers. The business was called Jet City Device Repair and focused exclusively on the B2C market (mostly fixing cracked screens on phones). That changed drastically this year (more on that later).

Today our company name is TechUnwreck and we focus almost exclusively on fixing iPads & Chromebooks for K-12 schools. That part of our business has gone from about $50K per year in 2014 to $1.2 million this year.

It’s been an exciting few years and a testament to what can happen if you keep your eyes open when a new opportunity presents itself.
