CES 2025: Where to find Kickstarter

Over the last 15 years, backers on Kickstarter have pledged more than $3.4 billion to design and technology projects, supporting everything from startups launching their first products to established businesses that want to validate demand and generate buzz.

This year, Kickstarter will celebrate the design and tech innovation we’ve helped bring to life with our first standalone activation at CES.

Located in Eureka Park (Booth #60101), our space will spotlight past, present and future of crowdfunded tech with real-life displays, opportunities to connect with the minds behind some of our most successful projects, and a preview of the next wave of tech innovation coming to the platform in 2025.

Here’s what you can expect when you visit Kickstarter at CES:

Jan. 8: Debuts and Demos of New Prototypes

From 2:00 – 3:00 PM, founders behind three soon-to-be-launched Kickstarter campaigns —a new slow-tech device from Astrohaus, dolls designed to help teach girls how to code from E-liza Dolls, and the world’s first instant solar kit from Zoltux—will be on hand to unveil and demo their prototypes for the first time. :

• Astrohaus: Known for developing productivity tools that enhance time management in a distraction-heavy world, Astrohaus is returning to Kickstarter with a new, soon-to-be-announced slow-tech device. Adam Leeb, the CEO, and co-founder of Astrohaus, will showcase and demonstrate their prototype. 
• E-liza Dolls: These interactive dolls aim to inspire young girls to explore STEM through coding. By combining play and education, E-liza Dolls teaches block-style coding, allowing kids to build projects like heartbeat sensors and truth detectors. Dr. Eliza, the company’s founder, will present and demo their prototype.
• Zoltux: The world’s first Instant Solar Pod brings clean energy to homes with a plug-and-play kit that’s ready in minutes. Install it on a balcony, windowsill, or wall, and it instantly provides power through a standard outlet. Pranav Myana, founder of Zoltux, will present and demo their prototype.
