April has turned into a very exciting month for Tekie Geek. Not only was Michael Bloomfield nominated as one of the Kings of Staten Island, but Tekie Geek was named one of the top 10 finalists in the Small Business Grant Challenge hosted by 1010 Wins.

The challenge was created as an opportunity for small businesses to apply for a chance to win a $10,000 grant. Tekie Geek was given the honor to present to three judges at the Adorama Live Theatre in Manhattan. The event took place on Thursday, April 7, 2016; with networking taking place from 4:30PM-5:00PM and presentations from 5:30PM-6:30PM. During the presentation segment, contestants gave their best pitch on why they should be awarded the small business grant. President Geek, Michael Bloomfield, presented to the judges and did an excellent job. Unfortunately, Tekie Geek wasn’t named the winner, however it was a great honor for them to be chosen as one of the top 10 finalists. Congratulations to the winner and to all the applicants!!
