TRADEOFFS

In this episode of TradeOffs, we sit down with Kevin Lavelle, founder of Mizzen and Main and Harbor, to discuss the challenges of building and scaling two very different companies—one in apparel and the other in pediatric telemedicine. Lavelle shares candid insights on navigating U.S. manufacturing hurdles, the importance of strategic networking, and the relentless persistence needed to bring innovative products to market. He dives into Harbor's mission to create a failsafe baby monitor, highlighting the technical complexities and lessons learned from his entrepreneurial journey. Lavelle also touches on the shifting dynamics of raising capital for hardware startups and the importance of building long-term trust with customers.
