As someone from the West Coast, GateTVs made it super easy for me to have a TV in my room and not have to worry about what I would do with it after the semester. Convenient delivery and pickup, and the TV worked like a charm.

Everyone should use Gate TVs! They made it easy and affordable for me and made my college experience even better. I was able to have friends over to my dorm and we were able to connect and become closer by sharing a bond of watching sport events together.

Gate TV's has been such a nice service to use here at school. I have used them for the past two years and both years the retrieval, set up, and pick up was simple and easy! Definitely will be doing it again next year.

Gate TVs had great communication throughout the whole rental process. Will definitely rent from them again in the future

— Elianna Cohen

It was great not having to worry about picking up my TV because I don't have a car. I also didn't have to figure out what to do with it at the end of the school year. I am so happy I found Gate TVs as it solved this problem for me that I had in the past where I ended up leaving my tv in my room at the end of the year and I was fined for it. The prices are fair and they were very helpful throughout the rental process. I'll certainly continue to rent from them in the future.

As a parent of a student, I found GateTVs to be a great resource to have on campus. I am so happy that I could get my daughter a TV for her dorm room at a reasonable price! GateTVs is a great addition to the Colgate community!

Our Story

In the fall of 2020, co-founders Ari Roth and Ethan Cott created GateTVs to ease the burden of wanting entertainment in a college setting.

During the 2020 school year, Ari and Ethan worked behind the scenes surveying Colgate students, building a website, forming an LLC, structuring the business, and more. After lots of hard work, we received official approval from the school to start business operations in the fall of 2021.

We did over 35 rentals during our first two semesters of 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.

Natalie Rong, a 2022 addition to the team as Creative Director, took our marketing efforts to new heights. By fall 2022, our inventory had grown to over 60 smart TVs, which continuously sell out semester after semester.

After Ari, Ethan, and Natalie graduated in the spring of 2024, GateTvs entered its next phase of life welcoming two new members with Matt Nemsick and Zaharah Fiorentinos. With a continued focus on providing the best customer experience, we look forward to solving Colgate students entertainment needs!

GateTVs is now entering its 5th year of providing Colgate students with the best entertainment solutions. With Matt and Zaharah continuing innovate and expand our services, GateTVs is always looking to hear from our fellow students and customers if you have any questions or are interested in renting a TV, please contact us at info@gatetvs.com.
