Kickstarter Invent

The best tech doesn’t just stand out, it fits in. This week’s projects meet you where you are, powering your home when it matters, sharpening your focus, streamlining your routines, and opening up new ways to build, create, and play. And with the launch of the Next Wave Fund, created in partnership with Google, we’re backing even more early-stage innovators bringing bold, practical ideas to life.

Introducing the Next Wave Fund

Introducing the Next Wave Fund

We’re excited to announce the Next Wave Fund, a new initiative from Kickstarter and Google. Built to support entrepreneurs bringing bold ideas to life.

Early stage tech startups and small businesses have come to Kickstarter for years to launch bold ideas, while turning to Google for the tools and training to help them scale. The Next Wave Fund brings those ecosystems together for the first time, combining funding, guidance, and visibility to help creators build what’s next.

Interested in the fund but new to crowdfunding? Join us for a live webinar on June 2nd at 1PM ET to learn what it takes to successfully launch and fund a product on Kickstarter. Sign up to join live or receive the recording →
