Invest in the future of A.I in the smart home.
RYSE builds physical A.I — small robots that give a home hands, not just a voice. Ours install on the window — the one thing in every room that decides light, heat and privacy.
As covered in
Soon every device in your home will talk to every other one. RYSE is building the layer that lets them.
Your house should already know what you want. Not because you programmed it — because it learned.
A house that senses, decides and acts on its own.
Voice assistants made devices controllable. Physical A.I makes them autonomous — robots that act on sunlight, weather and routine without being asked. That layer needs a foothold in every room, and nobody owns it yet.
The people building the future keep pointing at the same room.
Elon Musk has said publicly that one of Tesla's next frontiers is A.I in the home — a next-generation smart HVAC system, A.I that runs the house on its own, robots operating inside living spaces.
When the people who reshaped cars and rockets start describing your market, it tells you how large the prize is. RYSE is building toward exactly that future, and we are already in tens of thousands of homes.
Big tech doesn't build these categories. It buys them.
Every time an ordinary household object gets smart, one company wins the category and a giant pays billions for it. The smart home market is projected to reach $355B by 2033.
Google bought Nest
A thermostat company. Early investors saw a reported 22x return on invested capital.
Amazon bought Ring
A doorbell, rejected on Shark Tank. The founder came back to the show as a guest Shark.
LG bought Homey
LG took a majority stake in Athom to hold a smart home position before someone else did.
A robot for your window. Nobody else has built one.
RYSE is the only company shipping a robot that motorises the blinds and shades already hanging in your home. Everyone else replaces them. That is not a feature difference — it is a different market entirely.
It installs in minutes, by anyone. No tools, no electrician, no measuring, no quote. You mount the robot, connect it, and it works the same afternoon. That is why RYSE sells on a retail shelf while the incumbents sell through dealer networks — and why our market is every blind already hanging in a window, not just the ones bought next year.
The robot stops waiting to be told
The system reads sensor and weather data and adjusts on its own. It opens when you wake. It closes when the afternoon sun turns the living room into an oven. It cuts glare before you notice it.
Every robot sold puts a connected node on a window and teaches the platform more about how real homes use light. The hardware is the wedge. The network is the business.
As seen on national television
He walked into the Den and walked out with a deal.
Trung Pham took RYSE onto Dragons' Den — the global franchise Shark Tank was built from — pitched on national television, and secured investment on air. Everything since has been built on that moment.
The people who have already put money into RYSE.
Investors include Shark Tank's Daymond John, Shawn Dougherty who sold mophie for $100M, and Anthony Lacavera who sold Wind Mobile for $1.16B — alongside institutional and angel investors.
In their words
Jeffery Potvin, Supporters Fund
Louis Dellosa, Cogito Capital
“The RYSE team has impressed me greatly with its resourcefulness, its attention to detail, and its efficient use of capital.”
“Simple and brilliant. You have a huge untapped market if you sell to Airbnb hosts like myself. We love things we can control remotely.”
“When investing in startups we consider the long-term growth potential, the strength of the founding team, and the mission.”
The last thing in your house that still needs a human.
Billions of window coverings exist. Adoption of motorised shades stalled at 8% because of cost and installation. Remove both and the remaining 92% becomes reachable.
Patents are only worth what you enforce.
Plenty of companies list patents on a pitch deck. Far fewer have taken an infringer to a ruling and won. We have.
Patents granted
The protection sits on the retrofit mechanism itself: how a motor grips and drives a chain that is already hanging in the window. That is the part a competitor has to get around.
Against copycats on Amazon
Clones appeared on the marketplace. We filed through Amazon's patent enforcement process and won. The listings came down and the sellers were blocked.
Litigation we can afford
Patent insurance funds both suing infringers and defending ourselves, so enforcement never competes with the operating budget. Most start-ups cannot say that — and copycats know it.

One product line. Four markets that each buy it for a different reason.
The same devices sell into homes, care homes, offices and hotels. Four different customers, four different reasons to buy, one line to build and support.
Senior living
The 85+ population nearly 4x by 2040, across 30,000+ U.S. assisted living communities. Cords and heavy shades are a daily mobility problem.
Homes
Over 140M U.S. housing units. Schedules improve sleep, stop the sun bleaching furniture, and make an empty house look lived in.
Offices
Roughly 24% off heating and cooling energy use, fewer hot-desk complaints, and lower lighting load through daylight harvesting.
Hotels
50,000 U.S. hotels with 5.6M rooms. Guests wake to daylight without leaving the bed, and staff stop fielding shade complaints.
This is not a prototype. It's already shipping.
Over 100,000 devices sold and $20M+ in lifetime revenue, growing ~70% a year, through the largest retailers in North America — with live commercial deployments in hotels, offices and residential towers.
