A.I. & Robotics is Reshaping the Smart Home and Big Tech Wants In
Apple is rolling out Face-ID door locks and robotic smart displays. Elon Musk is quietly building the Tesla Smart Home. A.I. and robotics are driving the next wave of smart home innovation — and the window is open to invest in the companies that can define it.
One category is far bigger than most people realize: window shades. There are billions across homes, offices, and hotels — and almost all of them are still manual.
The last wave created major outcomes. Google bought Nest for $3.2 Billion. Amazon bought Ring for $1.2 Billion. Investors are now hunting for the next category leader — the one that can deliver real exit potential.
RYSE is leading this market with 10 patents, $15 million in revenue, and 200% annual growth. Their a prime acquisition target in a massive, untouched market. And RYSE is pre-IPO with a reserved Nasdaq ticker, giving investors exposure to multiple potential exit paths.
At $2.35 per share, this is your moment to get in before the next wave hits.
Get access to this pre-IPO investment opportunity.
