BIG NEWS! Techy has officially acquired NerdsToGo, our leading IT management and support company.

Guys, thanks for having us here today. We want to talk a little bit about the growth of Techy and what we're looking to continue to do across our brand. And we want to talk a little bit about a new growth we just acquired, and that is what we call Nerds To Go. So we are super excited about this. We've been talking about it for over about 3 years now. It's going to add 30 locations to our franchise brand, and we're going to talk a little bit more about what it's going to bring to our brand, but we are super stoked and are so excited to share this with you. Bill, what's your thoughts about this, huh?

Well, 32 locations.

Oh my gosh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's be real.

I know what you know. What you said is growth. You know, that's what we're looking to do. You know, how do we get to 1,000 stores? You know, we, you know, we love partnerships. We love people that want to open up the territories and we love, you know, acquisitions and buying companies.

Yep.

So whenever something comes across the desk and we're able to do something as much as By Nerdz 2 Go or any other company, we take it and run with it.

Yeah, we love, we love franchise models. And this is our fourth acquisition in over 4 years. So it's pretty exciting. And this is a franchise model too, as well. And we love meeting new franchisees, new partners. That's 32 new partners that we have that are going to bring us success and growth. So we cannot wait to not just continue to talk with them. But to merge what we do inside of Techie.

I was going to say, it's not just the end of the growth. It's also about implementing, you know, all their ideas and their revenue streams and their, you know, the whole thing and adding it to the Techie umbrella. Yeah.

And so a little bit about Nerds to Go. They're an IT management and support company. And so they can support, you know, email, cybersecurity stuff, video cameras inside your locations. Anything when it comes to B2B. Exactly.

One of the things we always wanted to grow in was B2B. We had been pushing it, uh, just like the acquisition with, uh, Experimax. You know, we wanted to start selling devices, so we bought Experimax.

Exactly.

And now we want to jump big into the B2B game.

Yeah, and we have been. I mean, that was our big force all of 2024 was the B2B. And I mean, we've done some incredible things with some huge companies. Tomorrow, I mean, this Sunday, we're going to Royal Caribbean and we're going to be doing more B2B with them. So now if we could put in the MSP side of things, the, and the IT services to protect security and those kinds of things, it's a win-win-win for every part of the company and other companies as well.

And not to mention, you know, all the AI we've been working on, you know, Jackie's been doing a lot of AI, you know, underneath the table, if you will. And we're, you know, beta stages, uh, trying to get it out there. So we're excited to implement that. Nerds to Go as well.

Yep. Yeah. And we're excited to bring Nerds to Go to Walmart too. We're actually going to visit Walmart here and then Thursday and we're going to their headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas. I've never been there before, but when I said Arkansas, I had a little bit of accent.

You're there for Walmart.

Yeah, exactly. So we're excited to, to present that to them too as well and present Nerds to Go to all of the techie locations that we have, which is now we're over 300+ locations worldwide, which is exciting to get to the number where we want to be over 1,000 locations. So if you have a franchise brand, maybe that you're looking to merge in with Techie and come under our umbrella, like hit us up. We're interested.

Never hesitate to reach out. You don't know where it'll get you networking. Tim's great on that. So yeah, always reach out. You know, we're looking to acquire, even grow, partner, you know, you name it. Even retailers, you know, if you have a chain of retail stores and you want to put Techie-branded items in there, you know, we're for it.

Yeah, we're excited about the acquisition and we cannot wait to bring this to your local business or to your local house or your local community.

And like you mentioned too, you know, we want to add it not just underneath the Techie umbrella, but also to the Techie locations.

Yeah.

You know, IT and MSP is everywhere.

I mean, and like you talked about, AI is everywhere.. And so now you're going to even want more protection, you know? And so, so I think this is a perfect time to inquire a company to protect you from outsiders that are searching the webs and doing all these other things to try to hack into your personal life, you know? Yeah. And your business. Yeah, exactly. So that's a little bit about what we just did here recently. We are super excited to continue to grow and to be continued to learn more.
