Pitch


9 years ago, Geek Squad lost my laptop for a month and a half. I thought their service and turnaround time was absolutely ridiculous when there were so many smart geeks in our neighborhood. When I was younger, I used to fix computers for my family and friends and knew there was a better solution.


Thus the idea for Geekatoo was born.We eliminate middlemen and offer cheaper service, since there is no storefront or inventory to maintain. The customer places an order online or through our app, and a verified, skill-tested technician arrives at their door. Gone are the days of leaving your computer for weeks at a repair shop, or waiting for hours at home for the TV repariman. Our “Uber of tech support” approach also benefits computer specialists who can make extra money or a living on Geekatoo.
