WiGoMan Blog - Tech Care (Repair, Reuse, Recycle) Industry Leader

Today a newly formed group within the Trump administrations Space Force Scientist Consortium (SFSC) announced a major breakthrough in repairing liquid damaged electronics. "We have finally done what no other human person has done," said Elmer Gantry. "We have stumbled onto a way to magically repair the water damaged iPhone forever." Gantry, who made his fortune planting churches across America and more recently served as the US Ambassador to North Korea, announced the "Factual Findings" on the steps of the Jefferson Memorial while skipping iPhones into the tidal basin where they would sink to the bottom to be retrieved by migrant children in paddle boats. The SFSC report reveals that while working on a classified project with their Russian counterparts, who were trying to understand the 'Young Peoples' fascination with Avocado Toast, an intern dropped his iPhone in the toilet during a FaceTime session with family back in South Dakota.

Wow! In the last three years the TECH repair industry has seen some pretty big dominoes fall and I predict that 2020 will be a breakout year for this rapidly growing multi-billion dollar industry. Dominoes started falling back in mid-August 2016 when a company most people had never heard of managed to pull down $15 million in series A funding, led by Carmel Ventures, with Sequoia Capital (a pretty serious name in investing) also participating - after seeding CellSavers with $3 million in December 2015. An $18 million invest in a less than one year old company kind of said something about the tech repair industry don't ya think?? Down went a domino. August 22, 2016 | Israeli startup  CellSavers , which provides an on-demand repair platform for smartphones and other mobile devices, has completed a $15 million financing round, led by Carmel Ventures, with participation of Sequoia Capital Israel.
