CEO Kano

Alex Klein is co-founder and Chief Product Officer at Kano. He is a writer and designer aged 23. Kano is a DIY computer kit designed to help people of all ages assemble a computer from scratch, and learn basic coding skills.

A month-long Kickstarter campaign initiated in November 2013 raised over $1.5 million, and helped launch the mass production of the device. Kano is the most crowdfunded learning invention ever and Kickstarter's fourth most-funded design project. Backers included Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and Kickstarter co-founder Yancey Strickler, who pre-ordered the kit.
