He started the business to provide a solution for those torn between Xbox or PlayStation, Wii or DS, Fallout 4 or NHL . . . you get the idea. “People have been torn for years . . . now, you can have both!” Jordan says. Jordan started GameReef through the Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA!) chapter supported by the Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce. He won both the local Investor Panel competition and the YEA! Southwest Regional competition. Jordan was also awarded third place Saunders Scholars Competition in 2015, where he pitched GameReef to a panel of judges at America’s Small Business Summit in Washington, DC. Jordan is busy between nationwide competitions and regular school activities, but we were able to catch up with him on GameReef’s past, present, and future. |
