Kevin Lavelle
Kevin Lavelle is the CEO & Cofounder of Harbor. He’s also the Founder and Chairman of the Board at Mizzen+Main, where he invented the world’s first performance fabric dress shirt, ultimately driving it to hundreds of millions of dollars in sales.
He successfully raised a growth round from L Catterton, the world's largest consumer private equity firm, and established partnerships with athletes like Phil Mickelson, JJ Watt, Tim Tebow, and dozens of others. Today, Mizzen+Main has more than ten of its own stores with 1,000 retailers also carrying its products.
Kevin is a devoted husband and father of two. When his Nanit app crashed on their family, leaving his newborn son unmonitored overnight, he set out to build a secure, reliable, quality solution that parents and kids deserve. He and cofounder Charlie Hill have built Harbor over the last three years to create happier parents and healthier families, one restful night at a time, and democratize access to sleep expertise. What began as a baby monitor is now a remote overnight support service for families caring for medically complex children, turning sleepless nights into restful ones, and keeping kids at home with the people who love them. Harbor investors include Trust Ventures, Morrison Seger, Capital Factory, Tim Ferriss, and several professional athletes.
Kevin lives in Dallas with his wife, Jen, and their two kids. He graduated summa cum laude from SMU and has been named EY’s Entrepreneur of the Year and SMU’s Distinguished Alumni Emerging Leader.
