From your doorstep to the mainstage at THINK 24, get excited to hear from the inspiring Jamie Siminoff, founder of Ring and current Chief Doorman and CSO for Latch, a company that makes spaces better places to live, work, and visit through a system of software, devices, and services.
From tinkering in a garage to a failed Shark Tank pitch to a $1 billion sale, Jamie Siminoff has been on a rollercoaster of a journey.
An inventor at heart with an entrepreneurial spirit, Jamie came up with the idea for the world’s first video doorbell, Ring, in his garage. Despite a failed Shark Tank pitch during which Jamie did not secure a deal from the sharks, he didn’t stay down for long.
How did Jamie come back? He and his team doubled down on their mission: to make neighborhoods safer. He went on to turn Ring into a whole-home security powerhouse that sparked Amazon’s $1 billion investment in 2018.
But Jamie’s entrepreneurial spirit extends well beyond Ring. Before revolutionizing home security, he had already left his mark with innovative ventures like PhoneTag, the world’s first voicemail-to-text company, and Unsubscribe.com, which offered a clever solution for tidying up cluttered email inboxes. The successful sales of these companies paved the way for his next big hit—the household name we now know as Ring.
Since the billion-dollar deal, Jamie has invested in residential, multi-family real estate, and simultaneously built Honest Day’s Work, which was recently acquired by Latch. This new endeavor enables service providers to be more profitable and deliver the best service to their customers, which aligns with what credit unions strive to do every day for their institutions.
Jamie’s eclectic mix of mission-driven entrepreneurship and solving real-world problems makes him the perfect fit for THINK 24.
