RYSE Inc., the smart home company that motorizes existing window coverings, has announced the launch of its latest investment round at USD $2.60 per share through its Regulation A offering qualified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on October 9. The offering includes up to 15,751,655 shares, for a maximum raise of approximately $40.95 million. The round follows the launch of MOTORYSE, RYSE’s new brand for the professional trade channel, which signed two U.S. distribution agreements after its debut at CEDIA Expo 2026.
Since its founding in 2015, RYSE has built a leading position in retrofit window covering automation, generating more than $20 million in lifetime revenue, holding 10 issued patents, and selling its products at retail in more than 100 Best Buy stores. The new round will support RYSE’s expansion into the professional channel, where smart home integrators, dealers, and installers are increasingly turning to retrofit solutions.
“Coming out of CEDIA with two major distributors signed, we’re seeing firsthand how much demand there is for retrofit automation in the professional trade channel,” says Trung Pham, founder and CEO of RYSE. “This funding round gives us the fuel to rapidly scale in this market and equip integrators and fabricators with the retrofit solutions they’re after.”
RYSE’s flagship products, SmartShade and SmartCurtain, are robotic devices that allow users to motorize and automate their existing window shades and curtains. SmartShade connects onto any shade with a beaded chain, such as roller shades and vertical blinds, while SmartCurtain fits on a curtain rod or track. The devices can be controlled via mobile app, remote control, or voice-controlled AI assistant and can be set to open and close on a schedule. The devices can also be activated by interacting with the window covering, like tugging on a curtain. The motors can be integrated into a larger smart home ecosystem with IFTTT, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Apple HomeKit.
MOTORYSE: Created for the Professional Channel
RYSE introduced MOTORYSE at CEDIA Expo 2026 in Denver as a brand built exclusively for smart home integrators, window covering dealers, installers, and distributors. MOTORYSE runs on RYSE’s proven technology and adds dedicated trade support, dealer programs, professional integrations with Control4 and Josh.ai, and distribution infrastructure. MOTORYSE was founded to give integrators, dealers, and fabricators a way to deliver motorized shades, blinds, and curtains without replacing a client’s existing window coverings. Retrofit solutions unlock a new product category and revenue stream for dealers and integrators.
