Today, BIGfish client Ring announced it raised $61.2 million in Series C funding from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers with add-on from existing investor Sir Richard Branson. With this round, Ring has raised $93.7 million to date. Jamie Siminoff, Chief Inventor and CEO of Ring, said: “At Ring, it’s our mission to reduce crime by creating a ‘ring’ of security around our customers’ front doors, homes and neighborhoods. I am pleased KPCB has joined Ring’s group of leading investors alongside Sir Richard Branson as we continue to make neighborhoods around the world safer. With these new funds, we will expand that ‘ring’ of security by adding to our high-quality, diverse line of smart security products.”
In addition to the funding announcement, Ring also launched its newest product, Ring Video Doorbell Pro, today. A premium, compact Wi-Fi video doorbell, Ring Video Doorbell Pro was made for the more savvy DIYers that don’t mind a slightly more involved installation process. Because it’s hardwired, this product boasts new features like highly configurable motion detection zones, a sleek design and a small form factor. Ring Video Doorbell Pro is currently available for preorder at www.ring.com/pro for $249. The company now has the largest line of smart, outdoor security products available today.
