Fair Harbor: Jake Danehy, Chairman & Co-Founder

Jake Danehy runs the apparel brand Fair Harbor, which has repurposed nearly 40 million plastic bottles into best-selling apparel. He started the company in college with his sister and scaled it into a multi-million-dollar values-led brand.

We talk about his childhood beach days in Fair Harbor, which inspired the brand’s name, how you can launch with as good as no funding, that you never own your brand - you only own your company, and how important it is to create guardrails once your brand grows up.
