Startup Chronicles: Tales of Grit and Growth from Ring Founder Jamie Siminoff

Jamie Siminoff’s entrepreneurial journey is a true American success story. Despite facing setbacks, such as an unsuccessful appearance on Shark Tank, he persevered and eventually sold his smart doorbell company, Ring, to Amazon for a staggering $1 billion in 2018.

In his upcoming book, Ding Dong: How Ring Went From Shark Tank Reject to Everyone’s Front Door, set to release on Nov. 10, Siminoff shares the raw and unfiltered account of his entrepreneurial journey, including the struggles of almost running out of funds multiple times.

Reflecting on his experiences, Siminoff expressed, “After a decade of ups and downs, I realized that this story needed to be told. I hope that Ding Dong will inspire and motivate others who are pursuing their dreams, showing them that persistence is key, even when faced with challenges.”

Earlier this year, Siminoff rejoined Amazon as the Vice President of Product, where he oversees the company’s home security camera business, including Ring, Blink, Amazon Key, and Amazon Sidewalk.
