Want to learn more about RYSE, our raise, and equity crowdfunding in general?

I recently sat down with Mapable to give them a step-by-step primer on how we launched our Regulation A+ campaign.

The Mapable podcast has extensive thought leadership in crowdfunding, disruptive technologies, investing, and more. 

This is why I was so excited to be invited to speak about equity crowdfunding, all things IoT, smart home devices, and RYSE with their hosts a few weeks ago. 

Check out the podcast episode and blog post here.

The episode just aired, and I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed the discussion.

Next week our equity crowdfunding campaign in Canada is scheduled to close at 11:59 ET on April 30. So today, I wanted to take a moment to answer some of the questions that we’ve received on our raise.

A lot of these questions have centered around our valuation, which I want to take some time here to deep dive on.

The global Smart Home industry totaled $158 billion in 2018, and is expected to grow to $262.6 billion by 2025. Our segment of the smart home industry is still in its infancy. The smart shade market totaled $162 million in 2019 but is projected to grow to nearly $1.5 billion by 2024. 

Over the last decade or so, numerous smart home startups have raised significant capital in their Series A phase:

And as the smart home industry has matured, the market has seen some really big exits, with numerous acquisitions by giant tech companies. Assay Abloy acquired August Lock. Google acquired DropCam for $550 million and Nest for a whopping $3.2 billion. And Amazon has been on a tear lately, having acquired Blink for $90 million, and more recently Ring for $1.2 billion.

We’re so excited to be building a team of investors and we want you to take part. Remember – if you invest more than $2,500, you’ll receive a complimentary SmartShade. And there are of course more substantial product perks for larger investments. Learn more and invest on frontfundr.com/ryse before it’s too late. You have just one week left to be a part of the smart home revolution!

And if you have any questions about your role as an investor, or about RYSE’s plans for growth, you can schedule a 15-minute call with me here.

All the best,

Trung Pham

Hi there!

Our Reg A+ campaign is gaining momentum and has garnered the attention of past investors. Some have even been kind enough to leave us a video testimonial on why they invested. 

We recently met with Jeffrey Potvin, the Founder and General Partner of the Supporters Fund. 

With over 20 years of experience in the tech space, Jeffery and his team at the Supporters Fund are selective when it comes to making choice investments. Out of 300 applicable companies they see every month, his team only chooses the top 2%. That’s only one to four companies a month that fit their criteria for growth acceleration and investment.
