    CEO & Co-Founder at Airhouse (we are hiring!!)

    Kevin Gibbon is the CEO and Co-Founder of Airhouse, a logistics and fulfillment platform based in San Francisco, California. Founded in 2018, Airhouse aims to simplify e-commerce operations for high-growth brands by managing a network of warehouses and shipping carriers, providing comprehensive solutions for direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands.15

    Professional Background

    Before establishing Airhouse, Gibbon co-founded Shyp in 2013, a startup that revolutionized shipping by allowing users to take pictures of items they wanted to send, facilitating an on-demand service for packaging and delivery. At its peak, Shyp was valued at $250 million but ultimately faced challenges that led to its closure in 2018.23 Gibbon's early career includes roles as a software engineer at major companies like Raytheon and Boeing, where he developed technical expertise that would later inform his entrepreneurial ventures.46

    Key Achievements

    • Shyp: Raised over $62 million in funding and was recognized as one of Fast Company's 50 Most Innovative Companies before its closure.
    • Airhouse: Currently focuses on providing e-commerce fulfillment solutions and has raised approximately $11.35 million in funding as of the latest reports.56

    Personal Insights

    Gibbon has openly discussed the lessons learned from his experiences with Shyp, emphasizing the importance of adaptability and strategic growth without solely relying on funding. His journey reflects a blend of technical proficiency and entrepreneurial spirit, driving him to create solutions that cater to the evolving needs of e-commerce businesses today.236
