Shark Tank’s Biggest Mistake: Ring’s Rejected Founder Now Battling Wildfires With Fire Watch

View descriptionShare

Ring founder Jamie Siminoff joins the show in studio to tell the unbelievable story of Shark Tank’s biggest mistake. From being rejected on national TV to building a simple garage invention into a $1 billion Amazon acquisition, Jamie takes us behind the scenes of how Doorbot became Ring—and why perseverance mattered more than a deal. 

Jamie also dives into his journey as a serial entrepreneur, sharing lessons from launching disruptive companies like PhoneTag and Unsubscribe.com, and what he’s learned from a lifetime of inventing and failing forward. 

Plus, Jamie unveils Fire Watch, a powerful new safety feature launched by Ring and Watch Duty to help communities detect early wildfire and smoke threats. One year after devastating LA fires, he explains how real-time alerts and community-driven data are becoming a lifeline for first responders and residents alike. 

And in a personal, gripping moment, Jamie recounts how he and his neighbors worked together to save their Palisades homes from the fires, offering real-world insight into preparation, technology, and community action when it matters most. 

Innovation, resilience, and survival—this episode has it all.
