Edward Ayres

CEO

Edward Ayres is a noted invention expert, entrepreneur and co-founder of Inventor Process, Inc.
As CEO of Inventor Process, a consulting firm that provides business development services,
education and guidance to product entrepreneurs, he utilizes his 23 years of industry experience
to assist inventors in reaching their goals.

Ayres’ fascination with inventions began at an early age when his penchant for innovation
earned him the Most Likely to Succeed distinction in high school. While still in school, he had a
calling to serve his country and enlisted in the U.S. Army. Ayres’ Army career further fueled his
commitment to innovation as the young recruit earned awards and accommodations for his work
in creating new systems for Intel officers to gather, analyze and disseminate battlefield
intelligence. An Honor Graduate of the Signal Intelligence Analyst Corp, he went on to study
business at Austin Peay State University.

Ayres entered the invention industry in 1999, and since then has worked in various capacities to
include research, design, copyrighting, marketing, sales and licensing negotiations. In 2014, after
15 years of success in the industry, Edward co-founded Inventor Process, Inc. Inventor Process is
a trusted resource for inventors searching for an experienced ally that can guide them through all
the legal, deal-making, manufacturing and marketing challenges ahead. Inventor Process brings
an unparalleled dedication and commitment to its clients and an impressive track record of
success stories.

Edward is often called on by news and business outlets as well as inventor organizations for his
expertise in new product introduction. And he is dedicated to helping inventors succeed in this
rapidly evolving marketplace. Just a few of the products he’s had the pleasure of working with
include the French Tip Dip, the recently-licensed Kicker, the Pizza Pro, Kool Breeze Solar Hats,
Doggie Don’t Device, Twinkle Treat Basket, the Camileon Heels, the Laundranet, and the FLKR
Lighter Sleeve.

Today, Inventor Process is home to a team of invention professionals who work closely together
to guide inventors through the new product introduction process. With Ayres’ leadership, the
organization has earned a singular reputation for its focused dedication to clients.
Additionally, Ayres and his team have recently launched InventorMade.com, a free platform for
inventors to sell their retail-ready products.

The spirit of innovation remains alive and well at Inventor Process, and Edward looks forward to
sharing the ins and outs of what it takes to go from idea to a successful licensing agreement.
Edward has been married for 20 years, has two handsome sons, and is an active member of his
church congregation. Additionally, it doesn’t matter if it’s Tiddlywinks, bean bag toss, or new
product introduction...he plays to win!
