Babies and herbs are sprouting up daily in North Texas—and two local companies have come up with innovative ways to monitor, nurture, and care for both. Now Dallas "smarter" baby monitor startup Harbor and Cleburne-based vertical farming company Eden Green Technology have had their tech honored in TIME Magazine's Best Inventions of 2024.
Co-founded by Mizzen+Main Founder and CEO Kevin Lavelle, along with co-founder and CPO Charlie Hill, infant care tech startup Harbor offers a "revolutionary" baby monitor and Remote Night Nanny service. The seed round was led by Trust Ventures, with backing by Morrison Seger, Capital Factory, and Tim Ferriss—as well as by former NFL QB Tim Tebow and current New York Jets punter Thomas Morstead, among others.

Bros have it bad. Only about 1 out of 5 men said they had received emotional support from a friend in the last week, according to a 2021 survey from the Survey Center on American Life. To help alleviate what some have called a "friendship recession," Mizzen+Main—the Dallas-based maker of performance-fabric apparel designed with modern silhouettes—launched a new brand campaign today called "Bring Back Male Friendships."
