VICE Digs Into Ring

In a three part series, VICE has decided to dig into the background and history of Santa Monica-based Ring, and how the company--and founder, Jamie Siminoff--turned the device into one of the most successful electronics products out there today, in addition to digging into the controversy behind the company's cozy relationship with law enforcement. The three part series--which apparently was written without VICE being able to interview Siminoff, Ring, or Amazon--covers Ring's roots as Doorbot, a spinout of an earlier Siminoff startup, Edison Jr., and the effect going on Shark Tank had on Ring's business.
