About Green
Toys
We believe the world would be a much better place if
everyone said “please” and “thank you", cell phones didn’t ring during
movies, and all toys were fun, safe, and made from environmentally
friendly materials. Since it’s probably no use holding our breath for
those first two, we’re concentrating on the toys.
Green Toys Inc. makes an awesome line of classic children’s toys
constructed from recycled plastic and other environmentally friendly
materials. This helps reduce fossil fuel use and reduce greenhouse gas
emissions, improving the overall health and happiness of the planet.
Robert
von Goeben
Way back in
the pre-Green Toys era,
Robert was the founder of Propellerhead Studios, a leading Silicon
Valley design studio specializing in electronic toys and games. At
Propellerhead Studios, he worked with many major toy companies,
including Mattel, Radica and Wild Planet.
Before that, he was the founder and managing director
of Starter Fluid, a seed-stage venture capital fund backed by
institutional and corporate investors, including Compaq Computers and
the University of Chicago. Robert’s career began in the entertainment
industry where he started and managed the online division at Geffen
Records. Robert has an MBA from the University of Southern California
and a BA in Mathematics from the State University of New York.
Bonus factoids: Robert holds two U.S. Patents in the
field of toys and games, and plays a mean set of drums. His all-time
favorite toy is Bing Bang Boing.
