About
SwitchBot was founded in 2015 by Connery Lee and Richard Mou in Shenzhen, China. The company launched its flagship product — the SwitchBot Bot, a compact robotic switch actuator — via a Kickstarter campaign, enabling users to control legacy switches and appliances via smartphone or voice commands with zero installation. SwitchBot has since grown into a full smart home ecosystem with curtain robots, smart locks, thermostats, hubs, and more, sold in 90+ countries. The company has 501–1,000 employees and is considering a Hong Kong IPO after reaching $1.3B+ in cumulative revenue. Its developer platform (OpenWonderLabs on GitHub) provides open APIs for smart home integrations.
