Instead, only summarize in your own words a range of independent, reliable, published sources that discuss the subject.
If you have a conflict of interest (e.g. you are the subject, an employee, or a relative) or are being paid to edit, you must disclose this to comply with Wikipedia's Terms of Use.- provide significant coverage : discuss the person in detail, not brief mentions or interviews lacking independent analysis;
- are reliable : from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
- are independent : not connected to the person, such as interviews, press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.

| 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ドル 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ドル 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ドル million in funding since its founding. An initial seed and early-stage round was followed by a 20ドル 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ドル 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]
