From Contestant to Shank Tank Investor
Have you ever heard of Jamie Siminoff? He is the Founder, CEO, and Chief Inventor at Ring.
In 2013, Jamie appeared on the popular business reality TV series, Shark Tank, seeking a $700,000 investment for 10% of his company, then called Doorbot-the world’s first WiFi video doorbell.
After declining an offer from Kevin O’Leary and being rejected by the other sharks, he exited the room, but this would not be the last we hear of his company!
Jamie kept working, and the company rebranded as Ring in 2014. Four years later, Ring was acquired by Amazon for $839 million.
That same year, Jamie made a comeback as a Guest Shark to the same show that turned him down five years prior.
Some people would have thrown in the towel after being rejected on television. However, Jamie was focused, determined, and displayed a strong level of tenacity.
This can be your story as well! Do not let someone else's “no” deter you from seeking the “yes” that can change your life!
Stay in the fight!
