| Education | Computer Science Pomona College and Harvey Mudd College |

| Known for | Co-founding Life360; pioneering satellite Bluetooth connectivity at Hubble Network |
Alex Haro is an American entrepreneur and technologist best known as the co-founder of the family-location platform Life360 and, more recently, the co-founder and chief executive officer of Hubble Network, a space technology company building a global satellite-based Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) network. He has served on Life360's Board of Directors since 2010 and previously held roles as Chief Technology Officer and President of that company.[1]
At Hubble Network, Haro has led the company from inception to a milestone funding total of $100 million and has overseen the launch of seven operational satellites, having achieved a connection from a Bluetooth chip to a satellite in 2024.[1]
Early life and education
[edit]Haro studied Computer Science at Pomona College and Harvey Mudd College, two of the Claremont Colleges in Claremont, California. Prior to co-founding Life360, he worked on Orbited, an open-source project focused on enabling real-time communication in web browsers.[2]
Life360
[edit]Founding and early development
[edit]In 2008, Haro co-founded Life360 alongside Chris Hulls. The company, headquartered in San Mateo, California, provides GPS tracking and location-based services primarily aimed at families. Its flagship mobile application allows family members to share real-time locations, receive safety alerts, and stay connected. The app was initially released in 2008 for Android.
Life360 received a total of approximately $90 million in external funding over its early years and grew to become a widely used family networking platforms in the world, reaching over 50 million families globally.[2] The company is listed on both the ASX (ASX: 360) and Nasdaq (NASDAQ: LIF).
Growth and leadership roles
[edit]At Life360, Haro served in multiple senior leadership capacities over more than a decade. He initially served as Chief Technology Officer, overseeing the engineering and platform scaling efforts that grew the service to process billions of location data points daily.[2] He later became President, a role in which he helped steer the company's commercial expansion. Haro has continued to serve on Life360's Board of Directors since 2010.[1]
Hubble Network
[edit]Founding and technology
[edit]In 2021, Haro co-founded Hubble Network with Ben Wild, formerly of Amazon Sidewalk.[1] The Seattle-based company is building what it describes as the world's first satellite-powered Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) network — a system capable of communicating directly with standard, unmodified Bluetooth chips already embedded in billions of consumer and industrial devices, without cellular infrastructure.
Hubble's core technical innovation is a proprietary phased-array antenna system mounted on orbiting satellites, enabling detection of BLE signals from altitudes exceeding 1,000 kilometers — approximately ten orders of magnitude greater range than standard terrestrial Bluetooth reception.[3] Devices only require a firmware integration rather than specialized hardware to connect to the network, lowering the barrier to adoption across industries including logistics, agriculture, infrastructure monitoring, and defense.[4]
Key milestones
[edit]In 2022, Hubble demonstrated a proof-of-concept showing that off-the-shelf Bluetooth chips could communicate directly with satellites.[3] In 2024, following the launch of its first three satellites, Hubble became the first company to establish a Bluetooth connection directly to a satellite in orbit.[5]
By 2025, Hubble had expanded its constellation to seven operational spacecraft and had secured an exclusive partnership with Life360 and Tile, connecting into a network of over 90 million smartphones.[1] The company also announced a collaboration with Muon Space to develop next-generation MuSat XL satellites equipped with advanced phased-array receivers capable of detecting BLE signals at thirty times lower power than existing capabilities, with a planned 2027 launch.[5] Hubble's stated goal is to grow its constellation to 60 satellites by 2028, ultimately aiming to connect over one billion devices globally.[3]
Funding
[edit]Hubble Network has raised a total of $100 million in funding since its founding. An initial seed and early-stage round was followed by a $20 million Series A, led by Transpose Platform and backed by investors including Y Combinator, 11.2 Capital, Yes.VC, Convective Capital, Seraphim Space, Type One Ventures, and others.[3] In September 2025, the company announced a $70 million Series B led by Ryan Swagar of Swagar Capital, with participation from Tom Gonser (co-founder of DocuSign), Mike Farley (co-founder of Tile), Marc Weiser (RPM Ventures), Tuff Yen (Seraph Group), and Y Combinator.[1][4]
Recognition
[edit]Haro and Hubble Network have been featured in technology publications including TechCrunch, GeekWire, and SpaceNews for their work on satellite IoT connectivity. The company has been recognized as one of the leading early-growth-stage space technology companies following its Series B fundraise.[1]
