Alarm.com Acquires Connected Safety Platform Noonlight

TYSONS, Va. — Alarm.com (Nasdaq: ALRM) announces it completed a majority-stake acquisition of Noonlight, a next-generation connected safety and event management platform that enables new applications and provides enhanced emergency response capabilities.

Noonlight was founded in 2013 to deliver advanced technology that “protects and comforts people so they can live freely.” The company began as a personal safety mobile application and has grown into a connected safety platform that has organically attracted over 3.5 million Noonlight app users.

Noonlight’s software platform enables context aware event management and emergency response for a range of IoT device vendors.

“Noonlight is a demonstrated leader in the personal safety and emergency response space and we’re pleased to bring their entrepreneurial team and leadership into the Alarm.com family,” says Jeff Bedell, Alarm.com’s chief strategy and innovation officer. “Our investment in Noonlight will help expand its business and continue to provide unmatched services to its markets and customers. Noonlight and Alarm.com have aligned missions to protect people through advanced technology, and we look forward to innovating and leveraging the platform with our partners.”

Noonlight will continue to operate independently as a next generation IoT device monitoring provider, as well as a consumer safety app and brand. Noonlight’s current management team will continue to lead the business from its headquarters in St. Louis.

“We’re thrilled to join the Alarm.com family,” says Zach Winkler, CEO of Noonlight. “They have a unique and successful history of majority-stake acquisitions — empowering innovative companies to continue to operate as an independent business and brand, while still benefiting from Alarm.com’s industry know-how, reputation, expansive resources, networks, and leadership team. We look forward to accelerating our mission and global security offerings with the backing of Alarm.com.”

SSI recently spoke with execs at Alarm.com to discuss the company’s roadmap, including playing commercial catchup to its residential sector dominance. Check it out here.
