Kickstarter Challenge founders to watch

While the 2025 Kickstarter Challenge ultimately led us to five incredible finalists, beyond those five were hundreds of founders, each with a story worth sharing. Their ideas, courage and ambition now live rent-free in our Enterprising Women memories, and we just had to share some.

From game-changing medtech tools, to life-saving apps, the 2025 Kickstarter Challenge entrants set the bar high and gave the judges a near-impossible task. Check out just some of the ideas and founders poised to follow their entrepreneurial dreams – we can’t wait to see what they can achieve.
