WELCOME TO FATHEHOOD.

WELCOME TO FATHERHOOD.

A game plan for your first 30 days as a father

A LETTER FROM THE FOUNDER

Before my daughter was born, I was excited — and terrified.

I couldn’t find any good advice for dads on how to not just survive, but thrive — how to stay strong and support my wife and new baby through the chaos.

Everyone just said, "The first month is hell. Get ready."

Like most new dads, I went into it with no real plan. I was back on client calls three days after my daughter was born — no paternity leave, no roadmap, just sheer willpower.

For baby number two, I wanted a different experience. I wanted a real plan — and when I couldn't find one, I built Harbor.

Harbor gives new dads the tools, the strategy, and the support they need to thrive — starting on day one.

You got this.

Jeff Kauffman, Jr.

Harbor is Leading the Movement to Support Fathers at Work

More companies are making fatherhood part of the culture they support. If that’s your mission too, Harbor is ready to help.

Susan Adams, Forbes staff writer


"Organizations need to recognize fatherhood, support fathers through formal programs like flexible work arrangements and through informal means."

Matthew Steinberg, Employment Lawyer and Inc.com contributor

"Engaged fathers make for happier, more motivated employees."

Lydia Dishman, Fast Company Senior Editor

"Now that more than half the workforce is female, employers need to consider fatherhood as a more serious and time consuming role than it has been seen to be in the past."

"I'm so gratefully for this survival kit. The playbook that Jeff created is exactly what I needed. I don't know what I would have done without it."

— Mike, first-time Dad & friend of the founder.
