From Shark Tank Rejection to Selling Ring for $1B (with Jamie Siminoff)
About this episode
Jamie breaks down what really happened after his Shark Tank pitch, how visibility mattered more than the deal itself, and why building a fast-growing hardware company can be dangerous. He explains the brutal cash cycles behind Ring’s growth, how close the company came to running out of money, and what ultimately led to selling Ring to Amazon for over $1 billion.
Beyond business, Jamie talks about running as a daily reset, why he hires people who think like marathoners, how consistency compounds over time, and what it takes to keep making decisions when there’s no clear finish line. He also shares how mission — not products — scaled Ring, and why building things that genuinely help people has guided every phase of his career.
A wide-ranging conversation on endurance, uncertainty, and what long-term progress actually feels like while you’re still in it.
