In partnership with

Kamusta, (Philippines), My Little Opportunist!

This week, we’re basking in the glow of big ideas and bigger possibilities. If you’ve ever dreamed of disrupting industries while sipping coffee in your PJs or turning art into cold, hard (crypto) cash, you’re in luck…

Enjoy this week’s inspiration…

This Smart Home Company Hit $10 Million in Revenue—and It’s Just the Beginning

No, it’s not Ring or Nest—it’s RYSE, the company redefining smart home innovation, and you can invest for just $1.75 per share.

RYSE’s patented SmartShades are transforming how people control their window shades—offering seamless automation without costly replacements. With 10 fully granted patents and a pivotal Amazon court judgment safeguarding their technology, RYSE has established itself as a market leader in an industry projected to grow 23% annually.

This year, RYSE surpassed $10 million in total revenue, expanded to 127 Best Buy locations, and experienced explosive 200% month-over-month growth. With partnerships in progress with major retailers like Lowe’s and Home Depot, they’re set for even bigger milestones, including international expansion and new product launches.

This is your last chance to invest at the current share price before their next stage of growth drives even greater demand.
