Kano

Kano is a tech startup that closed on a $15m round of funding led by Breyer Capital and Index Ventures. We’re a new type of computing platform, built for creativity. Our mission is to make it simple and fun for anyone, anywhere to make, play, and take control of the world around them. Kano is for kids of all ages, the creative and curious, those who want to make technology, not just consume it. Simple stories and playful projects show you how to build and code – powerups in Pong, mountains in Minecraft, Snake boards, beats and songs, servers, radios, and more.
