Seth Harris

Homie, check the vibe on Seth Harris – this guy is the real deal. So, he’s a YC alum from S20, which means he jumped into the startup game pretty early and crushed it. But his story? It’s way more than just YC. The dude’s been around the block, doing everything from big corporate gigs to running venues in Manhattan, and now he’s all about building new tech stuff.

He kicked things off after college at Yale, studying Ethics, Politics & Economics – sounds fancy, but really, it’s just the perfect combo for someone who wants to shake up how people connect and do business. Early on, he worked at McKinsey as a Business Analyst, so he’s got that solid consulting background, understanding how big companies tick.

But here’s where it gets interesting – he jumped into hospitality, owning and running some hotspot spots in Manhattan like Suede Nightclub and Southern Hospitality Restaurant. So, he’s got that hands-on, gritty experience with real people, real businesses, real hustle. That’s where he learned the ropes on operations, customer experience, all that good shit.

Then, Seth spots a gap in the hospitality tech world and builds Breadcrumb, a point-of-sale system for restaurants and bars. It was a game changer and caught the attention of Groupon, which acquired Breadcrumb in 2012. After that, Seth stayed on as VP of POS & Payments at Groupon, scaling their business like a boss. That’s not easy to do – he’s got that rare mix of startup hustle and corporate scale-up know-how.

He’s a true serial entrepreneur, no fluff. He co-founded HuddleUp, creating communication tools for deskless workers, huge pain points in retail and hospitality. Then, he jumped into the social scene with Dumps, a platform where friends connect through photos and chaotic messaging, like a digital playground for social chaos. The guy’s all about building the future trend and shaking up the game.

And now? He’s into Here.fm, a collaborative video workspace platform. Basically, he’s always been about building tools that make it easier for people to connect, share, and create – whether that’s in hospitality, communication, or social spaces.

What does all this say about him? Seth’s got mad hustle and a never-satisfied vibe. He’s not afraid to jump into new industries, learn fast, and build shit that actually matters. His process shows he’s driven by a core belief – that tech can change how we communicate and run businesses. He’s not just chasing money; he’s about creating platforms that bring people together, make their lives easier, or just add a little chaos and fun into the mix.

So yeah, Seth Harris is one of those founders who’s done it all, learned from everything, and keeps pushing forward. He’s the guy you want to watch if you’re into startups that actually shake things up. No cap.
