Ed Gartin is THAT guy everyone should get to know. The combination of his fun, kind, and helpful personality with his knowledge, experience, and creativity is something that just can’t be beat- it is contagious to say the least! He has the ability to help you step up in your creativity and pitching game, as well as dive deeper into gameplay, theme and trends. A few years ago while pitching to Ed I had the opportunity for ED to pitch my product back to me- it was eye opening and truly a pivotal moment in my inventing/product development career. I know for a fact that what Ed taught me set me up for success and is one of the reasons I have licensed four concepts in the last six months. As the head of inventor Relations Ed gave me great feedback on my concepts as well as encouragement to find my place in the toy/game industry. I am truly grateful to have Ed as a mentor and friend. I highly recommend working with Ed in any capacity if you ever have on opportunity to do so.

Ed is amazing, and his help is absolutely invaluable. He is incredibly knowledgeable but also very approachable and kind, and he transformed my confused concept into a pitch I can be excited about, and now feel ready for. I am beyond grateful. Thank you Ed!

Man! after having a one on one conversation with Ed Gartin via Zoom and listening to him on how I should pitch my product, I was convinced Ed is the real deal. He did such a great job pitching my product to me, that I was ready to open my wallet and buy my own product from him. Ed truly will help you take your product to the next level. He even gave me pointers on pricing the market and product positioning. If you're serious about your product and need help getting it to the next level, Ed is the man you need to consult with. I'm glad I did. Thank you Mr. Gartin.

Ed is one of those special people who has an enthusiasm for helping others while sharing his expertise in the Toys and Game industry. A creative force of nature, Ed took the time to not only understand my product line but also my personal goals. From that foundation, Ed helped develop realistic and actionable plans that are now pushing forward. I feel very fortunate to have found Ed and always look forward to working with him. 🙂

I had the pleasure of speaking with Ed about the ins-and-outs of submitting invention ideas and what it takes to open the doors into this industry. Simply put, Ed offered valuable advice, set some realistic expectations, and provided encouragement to hone in on the industry I am passionate about. I'd definitely recommend Ed as a resource and source of enthusiasm when it comes to getting your product concepts where they need to go. I'm glad we were able to connect and will definitely be reaching out for future endeavors. Thanks Ed.

Speaking to Ed about the Toy Industry and my product concept was a Game Changer! The advice that he provides is genuine. His knowledge is unparalleled, and his goal is only that he just wants to see you and your product succeed. He not only told me what to do, but he used his connections to put me in the right room, with the right person to get my product licensed. I learned a lot working with Ed and I know that today I have someone that I can go to, when I need to know the answers that I just can’t get anywhere else.

Ed is an extremely knowledgeable and creative professional in the toy and game industry, providing a treasure trove of insights through decades of expertise. Keep a pen and paper close by when you talk with him, because you'll want to take really good notes.

Ed is one of those unique individuals who can connect to everyone and anyone and gets things DONE. Since the first time meeting Ed both personally and professionally...things seemed to just HAPPEN, and in this way I’d best describe him as a creative and social catalyst . His design and leadership experience speaks for itself , but Ed’s true superpowers lie in his social energy , tenacity and honest and open approach that builds bridges between people and ideas.

Ed and I worked together at Hasbro on the gaming team. His designs led to successful games for Hasbro. Ed also had incredible problem solving skills. He could solve any challenges and be relied upon to get things done. If I had a question or needed something figured out he would be first on my list to ask and he always came through. He’s an incredible team player and leader.
