As if we needed another reason to buy everything on Amazon, we go and uncover a whole new hidden section of awesome offerings: a unique Amazon store that’s devoted to nothing but new and innovative products created by startups, so you’ll never get bored shopping for stuff.

Designed with a mission to support up-and-coming entrepreneurs by giving them the resources to sell and deliver their products to millions of Amazon customers, Amazon Launchpad is filled with cutting-edge products from rising startups. Translation: You can shop some of the newest, hottest items on the market—think Shark Tank products, crowd-funded goods, and more—with the same comfort and ease of ordering anything else online.

Here’s a handful of the coolest gear currently available on Amazon Launchpad:

Root Robot, $199

Created by a team of designers that worked for the likes of iRobot, Apple, Sonos, MIT, and Harvard University, Root is a robot that teaches users aged 4 and up how to code at any skill level, thanks to graphical touch-and-play interface. It also lets users make artwork, play music, and create games, with nothing more than your iPad or iPhone.

Frywall 10, $21.95

If this snazzy red splatter guard looks familiar, it’s probably because you’ve seen it on Shark Tank. Designed to fit any standard 10-inch pan or skillet, the Frywall stops oil splatter, sauces spills, and other messy mishaps while cooking. Even better: it’s dishwasher safe and space-savvy—so you can just roll it up into a cup-sized sleeve for compact storage.

The only thing better than a quality espresso maker is one that’s small enough to carry with you. This portable espresso machine comes equipped with a built-in cup and scoop, so you throw it in your bag and take it wherever you go—just add water and coffee grinds.
