About Crown
We believe natural light should make every space better, never hotter, harsher, or harder to use.
Crown Electrokinetics exists to make that true.
Our engineers, scientists, and product builders develop products and technology that tint and clear in seconds, responding on command with no motors, shades, or blinds. Whether you own a building, run one, or spend your days inside one, better light means a better day.
Our leadership team is comprised of industry experts with a desire to change the status quo through innovation.
