Disclosures & disclaimers

Problem


Automated Shades are expensive and out of reach for the mass market.


Automated window shades are priced out of reach for the average consumer, making it a luxury rather than an accessible solution for most homes and businesses.

  • Companies like Somfy and Lutron dominate the market with solutions costing upwards of $1,000 per window—far too expensive!

  • Motorized window shades often add an extra $500+ per shade, making them inaccessible for the mass market.

  • Traditional motorization solutions are difficult to retrofit onto existing window shades, requiring professional installation and further driving up costs.

  • As a result, only 8% of window shades are motorized, leaving 92% as a massive untapped opportunity for affordable automation.

Solution


RYSE Smart Shades

The first and only affordable solution to automate your existing window shades in under 10 minutes.

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.

At RYSE, we create IoT smart devices that enable you to motorize and automate your window shades.

We focus on retrofitting your existing window blinds & shades, making them smart and automated.

Powered by our software that leverages A.I., sensors, and weather data, RYSE intelligently controls your shades to optimize for energy savings and occupant comfort.

Product


Our products focus on two core characteristics:

Affordability
+
Retrofitting


RYSE Smart Curtain

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.

We just launched the SmartCurtain! Compatible with any curtain that hangs on a rod or track, and installed in less than 1 minute.

Curtains represent over 40% of all window coverings in the US, and can be combined with blinds or shades.

They are an elegant solution for homes and are found in over 90% of hotels due to their blackout properties.

Traction


$9M USD in Revenue &
 60,000 Units Sold

Research reports indicate that online sales account for only 7% of total industry revenues for SmartShades.

RYSE has already generated over $9M in revenue through online sales and we are now expanding into the much larger retail and wholesale channels.

By the end of 2024, RYSE expects to be in some of the largest retailers including BestBuy, HomeDepot, Linen Chest and Lowes - which accounts for 33% of industry revenues.

By 2025/26, RYSE will continue expanding its retail footprint with the launch of two new products, Smart Blinds and Cordless. In addition, we expect to keep scaling into B2B and wholesale channels, including real estate developers and smart home automation platforms - which accounts for 60% of industry revenues.

Impact


Aging comfortably and independently


There's a reason why the number of seniors who own a voice-activated home assistant device almost doubled from 2019 - 2020.

We believe that Smart Home products and SmartShades in particular will play a key role in providing independence to the growing market.
