Shark Tank Reject Raises $209 Million, Fights Crime
If you're a fan of Shark Tank, then you may remember Jamie Siminoff. In September 2013, he pitched his company, then called DoorBot, in hopes of raising $700,000 for his revolutionary video doorbell. However, the sharks were not biting and Siminoff walked away without an investment. Kevin O'Leary even delivered his signature "you're dead to me" line. Today, Siminoff's company - now known as Ring - has raised $209 million from some of the world's top investors, including Kleiner Perkins, First Round, Richard Branson, Goldman Sachs, DFJ Growth, Qualcomm Ventures, American Family Insurance, Amazon Alexa Fund and Shea Ventures, among others.
