Shaq saw Ring Doorbell in a Best Buy and thought that was good enough. He was shopping home security solutions for his new house and felt he was being price gouged by the home security companies. Shaq started off just as a customer of Ring. The next year, Jamie rebranded the company to “Ring” and raised another ~$100M. That round of funding in 2015 was $28 million, giving Richard Branson ~5% of the business. Luckily, Jamie’s episode of Shark Tank went ballistic with fans, and DoorBot did ~$3M more in sales that year after his appearance.Ī customer of DoorBot went on a vacation to Richard Branson’s resort, which is where Richard saw the video doorbell in action.Īfterwards, the customer connected the two and Richard became an investor. “I remember after that Shark Tank episode literally being in tears, I needed the money, we were out of money at the time.” Unfortunately, none of the sharks bit on DoorBot, so he walked. That’s when Jamie landed on Shark Tank in 2013. It took him ~1 year to build it, and when he finally launched his product (called DoorBot at the time) it took him just 9 months to get to $1M in sales.īut growth is expensive, so Jamie started looking for investors He started by building the first prototype in his garage in 2011. So he needed something that rang his phone and showed who was at the front door.
Jamie came up with the idea of a “video doorbell” because he was constantly working in his garage and couldn’t hear his doorbell ring. It’s Jamie Siminoff, founder of Ring doorbell. This guy got rejected on Shark Tank in 2013 then sold his business in 2018 for $1,000,000,000. Quiztones - EQ Ear Training Apps for Musicians, Producers & Audio Engineers #criticallistening #postproduction #storytelling #music #videoproduction #audioproduction #soundmixing #livesound #videoediting #Adobeaudition #adobepremierepro #musicproduction Different microphones have properties that can affect voices in different ways, adding a little processing in post production can really add clarity. I also highly suggest adding some male and female voice overs (such as portion of an audio book or spoken word) to the list to see how EQ can be used to make your narration more discernible. This is great ear training for you to identify in your mixes where to boost or cut frequencies. Quiztones is an app that uses your music and changes up frequencies randomly where you have to identify the boost or cut in a frequency range. Crucial to that is developing critical listening skills. If you do sound mixing or video production in anyway, as you know a good audio mix is crucial in the story telling process.
