He shares war stories from early DFJ days, reflects on the rise and fall of China’s entrepreneurial boom, and dishes out advice on where the smart money should go next.

Kevin shares his raw, unfiltered journey of building a multi-million dollar menswear brand from the ground up, the highs and lows of startup life, and what led him to leave it all behind to tackle an entirely new industry. He opens up about the early struggles of entrepreneurship—maxing out credit cards, going years without a salary, and navigating the emotional toll of building a business.

Now, with Harbor, Kevin is taking another bold swing, challenging the status quo in the baby monitor industry and introducing a first-of-its-kind remote night nanny service. He reflects on his fundraising struggles, the lessons learned from venture capital roadblocks, and why resilience and conviction matter more than ever.
