SmartRent looks to expand internationally after public debut

SmartRent’s eyes may be bigger than its stomach. The smart home automation firm is looking to grow internationally even as it seeks to meet untapped demand at home.

The Scottsdale-based company, which went public last week in a $2.2 billion merger with the proptech venture capital firm Fifth Wall’s first SPAC, may also become a strategic acquirer to boost its in-house product development, founder and CEO Lucas Haldeman said.
