Summary
DALLAS, Feb. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Harbor, a pioneering company in infant care technology, announces the successful completion of a $3.7MM seed round led by Trust Ventures joined by Morrison Seger and Capital Factory. Additional notable participants for the seed round include former NFL quarterback Tim and Demi-Leigh Tebow, retired US Professional Tennis player John and Madison Isner, NFL punter Thomas and Lauren Morstead, and entrepreneurs Sam and Sara Sodine Parr.The idea of Harbor was conceptualized after a personal experience co-founder and CEO Kevin Lavelle, founder and Chairman of the Board of menswear brand Mizzen+Main, had with the leading baby camera on the market. One morning, Lavelle woke up to realize the camera in his infants nursery had lost connection to his phones app, and upon further research found that app-based systems cannot be relied upon to be a true baby monitor. Lavelle partnered with co-founder and CPO Charlie Hill to begin an intensive product development cycle to revolutionize key attributes that had been overlooked in the infant monitoring space.Harbors revolutionary baby monitor, launching in May 2024, offers key features like local and remote access that streams with or without internet, a high-quality camera that streams in 2k, best-in-class data privacy assurance, split screen capabilities to monitor up to four children, and Smart Audio, a more considered and helpful alerting system. Harbor is creating a revolutionary baby monitor with capabilities that include Remote Night Nannies, Health Tech Services (infant and postpartum care), and comprehensive attributes that will enable parents to get much-needed sleep and infant care expertise for a fraction of traditional costs.
