Toobeez International was founded in 2001 to launch an innovative, interactive construction toy. Inspired by giant Tinkertoys, this patented collection of colorful tubes and spheres boasts a brilliantly engineered locking system that has no peer in building toys. (“Toobeez” = tubes+ easy.) Once Toobeez hit the marketplace, new and diverse uses for it were instantly apparent: this is not just a toy but a tool with applications in education, sports, leadership training, physical therapy, and more. Toobeez is fun and inventive whether a toy or a resource material.
Our office is built out of Toobeez! We're always inventing new games and activities. We also like to invent new words like Toobicle instead of cubicle.
From its inception, Toobeez, the toy, and Toobeez, the brand, were my vision, and have been solely funded though personal assets and investments. I have assumed all of the risk. The “heavy lifting” is done—shouldered by shoestring budgets and operated mostly by me, Joe Donahue.
The invention and the business are poised for success.
Thus far we have:
• Intellectual Property (US Patent 6,966,813) Safety tested!
• Defined and Wide Open Markets
• A Satisfied Customer Base
• Repeat Business
• A folder full of back orders; we’re out of stock-—again.
• The Whole World Ahead of Us (Literally! The 2008 International Toy Fair was replete with global interest.)
New web channels:
• Toys R Us.com
• eToys.com
• Amazon.com
A growing list of catalog distributors:
• Gopher Sport
• Palos Sports
• Sportime
• Kaplan Early Learning
• Nasco
• Achievement Products
• S&S Worldwide
• Flaghouse
• Sensational Beginnings
• Sport Supply Group
• Trainers Warehouse
We are ready for the next level in building the brand.
Toobeez has been selling several hundred thousand dollars’ of product a year for several years. We are in specialty toy stores, major catalogs, and powerful websites. We have customers in foreign markets (Africa, Ecuador, Korea, London, Mexico, New Zealand, and Spain). Shipping to these countries, in some instances, is more expensive than the product.
We are on the verge of reaching the shelves of mass market retailers, but we keep running out of inventory. Toys R Us, KB Toys, QVC, BJ’s Wholesale, and much more.
The shoestring operation must cease. I need a real corporate infrastructure and working capital to jettison the Toobeez brand.
What I need you to do is understand the total versatility of the product / solution, so that we can talk further. This is a compelling story and a smart investment. It needs the right people and resources on board. There is sizzle and meat in the Toobeez story.
Please examine our products and understand the full potential. Visit:

5. Why not build a metal version and revolutionize the scaffolding industry?
I am open to creative business solutions... I only seek the win/win. I have no problem relinquishing control over day to day operations. I have no problem sharing equity.
Strategies for working together might include:
1. A personal loan with equity transferred to you.
2. We license the rights to a specific market, or in its entirety, for a monthly fee.
3. Purchase an equity position / Private Placement Memorandum.
a. We hire an investment banker
b. We write a PPM
c. We build a management team
d. We sell the offering to raise 5MM
e. Other
The Toobeez tagline says it best: Connect, Twist, and Create! Let’s combine resources and ingenuity to build success.
The foundation is laid. The markets are plenty. The customers are satisfied. The world is waiting!
Sincerely,
Joe Donahue – Inventor
