New website launch!
We are so excited to announce the launch of our new and improved website! You can now read our product updates (a few exciting ones have been published already), learn more about our journey, and contact us all from one place! Pre-orders are still open through our site, and we have a special hub for educators to learn how to pre-order for schools!
Product Development Updates
On our "Product Updates" page, you'll learn that we now have an industrial design partner (Loket Design) and a manufacturing partner (Kaizen Dynamic). We are thrilled to be working with them and are making great progress! Our most recent blog post "Working with Loket Design" shows our progress on the look, feel, and user experience of InvenTABLE. For a sneak peek, here are a few iterations of product renders we've gone through (the blog post reveals what the near-final design is actually going to be):
Keep an eye out soon for a deep-dive on the manufacturing progress made so far, and shipping timeline updates!
BackerKit Surveys
Thank you to everyone who has filled out the BackerKit survey! Though we are now locking orders, it is not too late to complete the survey and add your shipping details. If you haven't already, please do so ASAP so that your order doesn't end up delayed!
We also recently learned that users who signed in with apple and chose "Hide my email" will not receive backer communication from backerkit. If you signed in with apple and haven't already gotten your survey, reach out to us at [email protected] to get help changing your email address and receive your survey link!
Last call for BackerKit order updates!

We're still missing a few backer responses, so extended the deadline to make any final updates to your order to Sunday, January 14. After this date, we will lock your reward selections and charge cards for add-on item purchases, pledge upgrades, and pre-orders. You can still update your shipping address after this date, up until we lock addresses for shipping.
If you haven’t answered your survey yet, if you fill out your BackerKit survey or pay for extra shipping after the January 14 order due date, we’ll still receive your information but your shipment may be delayed.
If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://inventable.backerkit.com/ .
Please remember that the email your survey will be sent to should be the same one that you used to log in to Kickstarter. If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your account, the BackerKit survey is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact support at https://inventable.backerkit.com/faq.
THANK YOU!
P.S. Keep your eyes peeled for another exciting product update post from us next week!
Happy Holidays from InvenTABLE! 🎁

Hey, everyone! It’s already December, and we’re hard at work bringing InvenTABLE to life! We know InvenTABLE makes a great gift for young ones, parents, or educators in your life. While it won’t be ready to ship this holiday season, we want those of you who are giving InvenTABLE as a gift to be able to share it with your loved ones! You can share the images from this update digitally, or download the PDF AT THIS LINK for printing.
We also want to give you an update on what we’ve been doing since the campaign ended! We have been finalizing our designs to be manufacture-ready with the help of industrial design, engineering, and manufacturing specialists. We are making sure that every little detail is considered and works exactly as it should before we move on to tooling and pilot production, and we will be sure to keep you updated along the way.
To be ready for our next steps, we need to make sure the backer surveys are complete! Currently, about 80% of backers have completed the survey, so thank you to everyone who has already completed it. Those of you who haven’t, please be sure to check your inbox for an email from BackerKit and fill out the survey so that we can finalize orders and shipping information to ensure timely delivery. The deadline to fill out the backer survey is the last day of the year, December 31st!
On that note, we’ll get back to our workshop! Thank you again to all of our backers and supporters, and happy holidays from our team here at InvenTABLE!

We've gotten some questions about shipping addresses and next steps. Soon, you’ll receive an email from us with a special link to your BackerKit survey. It’s important to respond to your survey as quickly as you can since we need this information to fulfill your rewards.
You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to fill out your survey. When you receive the email with the survey, click the survey link to respond. Answer the questions, provide shipping information, and purchase add-on items if you like. You don’t have access to this survey link yet, but it will be available soon via email!
After you respond to your survey, you can go back later and change your responses at any time before we close the surveys and get our final counts.
If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://inventable.backerkit.com/.
If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your account, the BackerKit survey is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact support at https://inventable.backerkit.com/faq.
Thanks, everyone!

WOW. Over 2300% funded, over 5000 backers, and over $1.1 million dollars raised??
This is beyond our wildest dreams. We are so grateful that InvenTABLE has resonated with so many of you.
It has always been so important to us at InvenTABLE to make sure we are designing alongside you, our users. From the beginning, we were taking our prototypes to schools, makerspaces, and events to get your feedback and improve our design.
We could not be more thrilled to have launched on Kickstarter, a platform that has connected us to so many who are just as excited to be a part of this early journey with us, so that we can continue to learn from you.
Backers, look out for an email in the next few weeks with a survey to collect your shipping addresses.
Add-Ons:
One of our stretch goals was to include an add-on option for table accessories such as fences and guides. Click on this link to vote on your top accessory choices. You will be able to optionally add these on in the backer survey. VOTE HERE
If you didn’t get to back us…
…because you’re based outside of North America, you can sign up here to be notified when we launch internationally: INTERNATIONAL SIGN UP LINK
…because you work for a school that needs purchase order requests, you can sign up here to be notified when we are able to accommodate that: EDUCATOR SIGN UP LINK
Thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts! We can't wait for what's next!
