SimpliSafe

SimpliSafe, Inc. is a home security company based in Boston, founded in 2006 by Chad and Eleanor Laurans. The company launched its first do-it-yourself (DIY) home security system in 2009, designed for easy installation by both renters and homeowners. SimpliSafe offers a range of wireless, cellular security systems that include various sensors and security cameras, such as the SimpliCam. Their systems feature advanced options like intruder intervention and outdoor protection through the SimpliSafe Active Guard system, all managed via integrated mobile apps for remote monitoring. The company provides 24/7 professional monitoring services without long-term contracts, making it a flexible and affordable choice compared to traditional alarm companies. SimpliSafe's products are available nationwide through major retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Target, and the company has expanded its market to the UK since 2019. With over 2 million customers protected, SimpliSafe continues to innovate and grow in the home security industry, maintaining operational independence while being majority-owned by the private equity firm Hellman & Friedman since 2018.
