The Invention of the Ring Doorbell

This is the Ring camera, protecting millions of homes. But investors hated it, and every shark on Shark Tank rejected the idea.

I just don't see the progression, and for that reason, I'm out.

And here's what happened. It's 2013, and Jamie Siminoff is tinkering in his garage. Did you hear something? Well, neither does Jamie. He keeps missing deliveries because he can't hear the damn doorbell. So he invents a doorbell with a camera that connects to his phone, allowing him to see and talk to his visitors no matter where he is. He calls it DoorBot, and he takes it first to Shark Tank, the TV The Shark Tank show, and he thinks he's got a million-dollar, if not billion-dollar idea. Except the Sharks don't think anybody will actually want it, so he leaves the show empty-handed and totally crushed. But he doesn't give up. He rebrands his invention to Ring and starts hustling. He does it the hard way and creates a market for his device by showing people that home security doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. It becomes the most popular home security system in the world, and Amazon buys the company for over a billion dollars.
