One iPhone, then another

How it started

I started Platinum Tech in December 2019 from a tiny room in my apartment. At the time, I was a single mother of two little girls, an immigrant, and I didn't have investors or a large amount of money to start a business. All I had was determination and the willingness to take a chance on myself.

Everything began with one iPhone 7 Plus. I bought it, sold it for a small profit, and immediately reinvested every dollar into another phone. I repeated that process over and over until I had enough inventory to send five iPhones to Mexico, where I sold them and reinvested every dollar again. That became the foundation of Platinum Tech.

Starting wasn't easy. Every purchase felt risky because I was investing money that my daughters and I depended on. I've made mistakes, lost money, and been scammed more than once. But every challenge taught me something that helped me build a stronger business.

In 2019, I bought my first iPhone with money I could barely afford to risk. Today, Platinum Tech helps customers across the United States sell their Apple devices quickly, fairly, and with confidence.

For several years, I operated in both the United States and Mexico, serving customers on both sides of the border. Even after closing my Mexico location to focus entirely on growing in the U.S. after the birth of my baby, many of those customers continue to travel or ship devices to keep doing business with me. Their loyalty means everything to me.

Today, Platinum Tech specializes in buying and selling Apple products, especially iPhones. Our mission is simple: make it easy for people to sell their Apple devices quickly, receive a fair price, and leave with a great experience. We also provide repairs, accessories, custom phone cases, and wholesale solutions, but our heart has always been helping people turn their Apple devices into cash through a process they can trust.

I'm still building the company with the same mindset I had on day one: work hard, stay honest, treat people fairly, and never stop reinvesting in the dream. My goal is to make Platinum Tech one of the most trusted Apple buyback companies in the United States while helping other entrepreneurs build businesses of their own.

Honest scales, every time.
