Innovative Climate-Tech Startup Mado Dynamic Surpasses Kickstarter Funding Goal
SANTA CRUZ, Calif., April 29, 2025 – Mado Dynamic, a pioneering climate-tech startup that’s revolutionizing window treatments for modern homes, has successfully concluded its debut Kickstarter campaign. The company raised an impressive $306,960 from 330 backers in just 37 days, exceeding its funding goal by 828%. This achievement places Mado Dynamic in the top 1% of all hardware projects by funds raised on Kickstarter.
The campaign’s success is particularly noteworthy in the traditionally slow-moving window coverings category. Mado Dynamic’s flagship product, the C-Series, combines intelligent automation with innovative design. Key features include solar-powered motors, adaptive algorithms that respond to changing light and temperature conditions, and a tool-free, drill-free installation process that takes mere minutes.
The C-Series is designed to be versatile, catering to both renters and homeowners. The system utilizes ambient sunlight to power itself and automatically adjusts to optimize light, reduce heat gain, and lower HVAC usage by up to 20%. “We’re not just selling window shades – we’re delivering an instant, intelligent energy retrofit,” said Andrew Einaudi, CEO and co-founder of Mado Dynamic. “We believe sustainability should be simple, beautiful, and accessible to everyone.”
Campaign Highlights:
- $306,960 raised in 37 days
- ~1,000 units sold (average order value ~$875)
- 25% of customers were new to Kickstarter
- Most backers expressed intent to purchase additional units for multiple rooms or full-home installations
- Over $3,000 donated to Glimmer’s Childhood Cancer Foundation
With the campaign now closed, U.S. shipments are set to begin in September 2025, followed by a direct-to-consumer launch and retail rollout later this year. The company plans to expand internationally in 2026, targeting markets with high urban density, rental housing, and climate-forward policies.
Mado Dynamic is currently seeking strategic partnerships and early-stage investment to support its international growth, manufacturing scale-up, and continued product development. As co-founder Michael Brylawski noted, “This is just the start. The window is the gateway to every building’s energy story. Mado makes it ridiculously easy to install smart, solar-powered shades that save up to 20% on energy bills – with design and simplicity consumers love.”
