Happy Founder’s Day! 🎉 Eight years ago, Nate Holmes and Chris Hawkins started Secured Tech with a simple goal: make technology easier for schools. Today, that goal looks like buyback, repairs, accidental damage protection, accessories, software, and white-glove deployment, all built around the people who keep K-12 devices running.
None of it happens without the two people who took the first step, and the team that has shown up for schools and for each other ever since.
Nate and Chris, thank you for building a company where relationships come first. We’re grateful for you, and we’re excited for what’s next.
Here’s to 8 years! 🎈
