Harrington Enterprises

What Harrington Enterprises does

Harrington Enterprises, operating through the Florida-based limited liability company KHBH LLC, is a personal-brand consulting and advisory firm built around Kevin Harrington, an original investor on ABC's Shark Tank and the credited inventor of the infomercial format. The firm provides high-touch consulting and advisory services to Fortune 100 companies, startups, and entrepreneurs, keynote speaking engagements at corporate and industry events, and equity investing services that include board participation across multiple public and private companies. The portfolio also includes digital learning products (Secrets of Sales Success and Secrets of Closing the Sale Master Class, distributed through zigsecrets.com on a subscription basis), published books (Mentor To Millions, Act Now, Key Person of Influence, Put a Shark in Your Tank, sold through Amazon and other retail channels), and content properties including the Sharkpreneur podcast, the Get Down To Business TV show, the Kevin Harrington blog, the American Entrepreneur platform, and Shark Discoveries.

The company does not operate a proprietary technology platform; its core assets are personal reputation, a 50+ year operating history, and a global network of celebrity, corporate, and distribution relationships. Go-to-market is primarily sales-led and event-driven, with speaking engagements at venues such as Microsoft, AT&T, Syracuse University, and various retail and entrepreneur summits serving as the principal client acquisition channel. Content marketing is delivered through an owned blog, podcast, YouTube gallery, and social profiles (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, LinkedIn), while email capture is managed through Infusionsoft. Pricing for consulting and speaking is quote-based; the digital learning programs are offered on a monthly subscription.

The customer base spans enterprise (Celsius board role, AT&T marketing consulting, E-Trade keynote engagement), startups and entrepreneurs seeking mentorship and investment, conference and event organizers booking keynotes, and individual business professionals purchasing books or digital learning content. The company is founder-owned and operated with no disclosed institutional backing, no parent entity, and no external funding rounds; it carries no subsidiaries and operates from a St. Petersburg, Florida headquarters. Harrington also co-founded the Entrepreneurs Organization (45 countries) and the Electronic Retailers Association ($350 billion marketplace), though these are independent industry bodies rather than revenue-generating subsidiaries.
