- Investor Issues
- ADT invested in Zonoff and Zonoff was their largest shareholder.
- Reports from Higginbotham said, "Zonoff had been struggling with one of its largest strategic investors, ADT, after it went private in 2016. ADT's buyer, Apollo Global Management, was more focused on the security side of the business rather than the smart home." and possibly Zonoff acquirers were also ADT competitors, making it difficult for the seller to close the deal.
- Zonoff had planned to sell the venture to Honeywell for $40M but the deal fell apart.
- When the deal fell through, ADT decided to stop funding the company and Zonoff was penniless and could no longer afford to pay its employees.
