Doorbot pitch story

When did Jamie Siminoff start his company? He began the company in 2013. Jamie came up with the idea of installing a traditional automated doorbell with cameras and an alarm system to enhance security. He founded the company under the name Doorbot. A majority of the funds were derived from crowd-funding.

During the same year of the invention, he tried his luck on the TV show Shark Tank. He asked for a $70,000 investment for his company for a 10% equity investment. But, unfortunately, his proposal was rejected by the shark due to some minor deterrent features.

However, Kevin O'Leary offered him a complicated loan/royalty deal which Jamie rejected. Luckily, this was not a total loss as he received widespread fame and great interest among viewers, which made his sales go significantly high.

After the four rejections, Jamie Siminoff on Shark Tank renamed the company from Doorbot to Ring. He subsequently went on to make over $5 million in annual sales. With the significant increase in the Ring net worth, many other wealthy personalities invested over $250 million in the company. They were:

• Goldman Sachs
• Qualcomm Ventures
• Sir Richard Branson

On 27th February 2018, Amazon purchased Ring for a value of between $1.2 and 1.8 billion. Jamie still held a 20-30% ownership of the company. Therefore, this meant that he would gross between $360 and $549 billion before taxation. After-tax, he would take home between $180 and $270 million. At the moment, the company's head office is located in Santa Monica, California, USA.
