==History==
The company was founded by Alex Hawkinson (CEO), Andrew Brooks (COO), and Jeff Hagins (CTO), Ben Edwards, James Stolp, Scott Vlaminck and Jesse O'Neill-Oine. The group founded SmartThings in spring 2012 and first launched on Kickstarter in August 2012, raising $1.2 million.〔 Consumer internet executive and former Etsy CEO, Maria Thomas, joined the founders in early 2013 as Chief Consumer Officer. The company has raised $15.5 million in capital to-date, including $12.5 million in a Series A round in November 2013 which was led by Greylock Partners and Highland Capital Partners.〔
The idea for SmartThings was conceived by co-founder and CEO Alex Hawkinson in the winter of 2011 when his family's mountain house in Colorado was extensively damaged after a power outage caused the house's pipes to freeze and burst.〔 When power was restored, water flowed through the unoccupied house causing approximately $80,000 in damages. Hawkinson noted that he could have prevented the damages if he had known what was happening inside the house.〔 After failing to find a suitable solution to the problem, Hawkinson and co-founders began to build a SmartThings working prototype.〔
