SmartRent is made up of passionate, diverse, and innovative professionals who enjoy working together. We are on a mission to make smart home technology accessible for everyone by embracing our shared guiding principles. We don’t take shortcuts; we do the hard work. We own our outcomes. We win as a team. We value authenticity and others’ perspectives. We believe solving problems starts before we write any code.
We work using a really fun intersection of physical hardware, such as locks and thermostats, and software that can control the devices; we provide applications for both the property staff — whether single-family or multifamily and also the residents of the properties. We started in 2017, and have had explosive growth ever since — going public in 2021 for $2.2b. We have deployed over 600,000 units that contain over one million IoT devices and ingest billions of events from those devices in a given month.
