Alex Klein's biography

At a glance

  • Founder of Kano
  • Credited lyricist on Kanye West's album
  • Board member of DriveTribe
Alex Klein has been likened to the legendary Steve Jobs for his significant impact on changing how younger generations perceive computers. Kano, his innovative technology company, has been recognized by Fast Company for its groundbreaking work, surpassing even industry giants like Google and Microsoft. Alex's journey began when his six-year-old cousin challenged him to create a simple computer that anyone could assemble. This sparked a highly successful crowdfunding campaign and led to the development of Kano's educational computer kit. Kano's computers have received numerous awards, and the company has collaborated with popular franchises such as Star Wars and Harry Potter. Alex is also known for his work on democratizing technology and his contributions as a credited lyricist on Kanye West's album. In addition, he has shared his ideas with influential figures and serves on the board of DriveTribe alongside Top Gear journalists. In a recent partnership with Microsoft, Alex has focused on developing a Windows laptop specifically designed for modern learning. His mission is to make technology accessible to everyone, not just a privileged few. Alex's speeches cover many topics, including addressing the rising generation on their terms, democratizing technology, and leading with purpose while staying true to personal values.

Topics, sessions and talks

Making Superchildren
Alex Klein has developed the world’s most innovative technologies for young people, since he himself was age 21. This rising generation is the first that won’t remember a time before the Internet. Addressing them on their own terms is crucial to any project, commercial or governmental. Here’s how we do it.
Democratizing Technology
There are more than 20 billion connected devices in the world. But less than 50 million people, 1% of 1% of the world, know how these technologies work –and how to make them do something new. Bridging that gap is possible, and part of the solution to many of the world’s biggest problems. Here’s how we do it.
Keeping Your Soul In The Modern World
Leading anything with purpose is hard. You make yourself subject to even more stakeholders – as if investors weren’t hard enough. Alex Klein has developed his company through collaboration with British Prime Ministers, the CEOs of the world’s largest companies, Wimbledon-winning athletes, and Kanye West. The reason is a simple framework for working together that anyone can understand and use to benefit not only yourself, but the wider world in which you live. Of note: the role of faith in professional work.
