From the administrators' statement
Creditors should note that, unless otherwise stated, this section of my proposals has been prepared based on information provided to me by the directors of the Company and not from my personal knowledge as Administrator.
Kano Computing Limited, is recognised as a trailblazer in the edtech industry, it was founded in early 2013 with an ambitious vision to make technology more accessible and comprehensible for all. Their first product, a DIY computer kit, was a ground-breaking initiative aimed at engaging children and their families in the interactive process of building and programming a computer. The brainchild of cofounder Alex Klein, the Company initially gained momentum from investments made by the directors, a successful Kickstarter campaign, and significant venture capital support.
Their first product was launched to great acclaim in 2014, following the Kickstarter campaign in the previous year. This period marked the Company's steady growth trajectory, fostering supplier relationships and expanding its market presence.
