Our Story

In the fall of our freshman year, Ari and Ethan met for the first time to recap a math test we had just taken. Instead of talking Calculus, we found ourselves discussing our past businesses and a mutual desire for a better way to stay entertained in our dorms during the pandemic. By the end of lunch, we had created a business plan for Gate TVs and submitted an application to Thought Into Action (TIA).

When TIA accepted us, we got to work on the business growth and administrative tasks, such as surveying friends, building a website, designing a logo, forming an LLC, and more. We received official approval from the school started business operations in fall 2021.

We did over 35 rentals during our first two semesters operating. TIA was impressed with our traction and supported us with a seed-grant. This allowed us to purchase more TV inventory ahead of time, leading to quicker delivery times for our customers.

Heading into our fall 2022 rental season, we now have the support of Natalie, who serves as Creative Director. She is talented at marketing and incredibly visual. We are excited about our momentum and looking forward to continuing growing.
