About

OUR STORY In 1995, the Company founders established their friendship; based largely on a desire to start a sports merchandise business. When developments in 2007 brought the concept for customizable photo bats to life, we knew our revolutionary product was a winner! Fast forward ten years later to 2017, and all the subsequent brainstorming, ideas and business plan iterations have now grown into Gametime Corp. The Company has quickly evolved from a bootstrap startup into a VC funded business backed with a seven-figure capital commitment. We recently signed a multi-year licensing agreement with Major League Baseball Players Association to produce and distribute player-themed novelty merchandise beginning in 2018. Our entire team is very excited about this unique opportunity and we are looking forward to a successful partnership with MLB concession operators and retail distributors.

Marcus Robinson is a co-founder, and past president of After 10 Entertainment, a member only social club established in the early 1990s. During that time, the group's main purpose was to create a platform to reconnect and network with old friends, as well as provide a support system for those who recently returned home after attending college and or serving in the military. For the first couple of years, the group leveraged its "Party-4-Purpose" event marketing platform to raise awareness about important causes such as homelessness, especially among Chicago's youth population. The group also regularly collaborated with other social groups to help promote charitable endeavors. While many of its members have gone on to lead very successful and productive lives, several of the original co-founders still actively support various worthy causes.
