Tech Specs

We’ve done this before

The team behind RYSE is the same team that brought AXIS Gear to market in 2016. Now in 2020, we’ve taken everything we’ve learned from the last 4 years and put that into RYSE SmartShades. 4 years of engineering, design, and manufacturing experience that we bring to the table. 4 years of listening, learning, and evolving. That’s a lot of growth and change in 4 years. But one thing that hasn’t changed over the last 4 years is this team’s need to create products that make things smarter, simpler, and more convenient for you. RYSE represents the next generation of smart shading, and we can’t wait to share it with you.

Why we need your help

After 4 years of research and development, we have now reached the point where we feel confident about bringing RYSE SmartShades to your window blind. However, we can’t do this without your support. The next step is to simply raise enough funds to start the manufacturing process.
