D3VC, a data-driven venture firm led by crowdfunding pioneer Sherwood Neiss, invested in RISE and wrote an investment memo detailing their conviction. D3VC’s team uses machine learning to analyze over 10,000 crowdfunding deals, and RISE stood out as a top opportunity for breakout returns. Their in-depth memo breaks down why they invested and have conviction in our potential, covering our market opportunity, competitive landscape, and investment structure. 📌 Their verdict: Strong Buy Here’s what stood out to them about the opportunity: ✅ Massive market opportunity with mandatory industry transition ✅ Proven technology validated by world record achievement ✅ Government credibility through Air Force contract selection ✅ Experienced management with relevant scaling experience ✅ Clear commercialization path ✅ Attractive risk-adjusted returns with 10-25x potential “RISE Robotics presents a compelling investment opportunity at the intersection of industrial electrification, automation, and government contracting.” ⚠️ Early bird terms for this round- the same terms D3VC invested at - are selling out fast.

4.8 stars, Staff Pick, 2nd place at ICW – Kingscrowd is all in on RISE ⭐️ @Kingscrowd has been watching RISE closely, and now, they’ve made their position clear. Three things happened: ⭐️ Kingscrowd increased our Reg CF deal rating to 4.84 / 5.0 — up from 4.67 last round – putting RISE in the top 4% of every deal they've ever analyzed. 🥈 At Kingscrowd's Investment Crowdfunding Week pitch event, RISE placed 2nd out of 20 companies vying for both the crowd favorite and grand prize. Kingscrowd Analyst Léa Bouhelier-Gautreau chose RISE as her #1 pick: “I’m feeling hungry and I’m going to vote for the company that can plug its product into a variety of industries and that can change how things are done. The one that’s really going to fulfill my hunger right now, and maybe bring the biggest return of all, is going to be RISE Robotics.” 🏆 They named RISE a Staff Pick of the Week last week. Analyst Léa Bouhelier-Gautreau put it simply: "The current early bird terms give investors a solid deal for a deep tech company that's about to start commercializing." Kingscrowd Capital is also an investor in RISE. Their backing is strong independent, data-driven validation from investors and analysts who've seen thousands of early stage deals.

Next week, we're at ACT Expo in Las Vegas from May 4-7! 🚛⚡ ACT Expo is the largest fleet technology show where OEMs, operators, and industry leaders come to see what's next in freight movement and commercial transportation. We'll be on the floor at Booth 3275 showcasing our all-electric Beltdraulic™ Liftgate. If you're going to be in Las Vegas, we want to see you there. Do you have connections to fleet operators who might be attending? Send us a DM, we'd love a warm intro.

We just shipped our second commercial Beltdraulic™ unit! 📦 This one left fully spec'd with a high-power motor, gearbox, brake assembly, control box, E-stop, and CANBus cable assemblies, built and configured to our customer's exact requirements. This customer was a strategic choice. They manufacture complementary lower-force linear actuators and serve OEMs actively pushing toward higher-force, fully electrified systems. The goal is a long-term manufacturing, sales, and distribution partnership that puts Beltdraulic™ cylinders in front of buyers we couldn't reach alone. Heavy-duty motion is still dominated by hydraulics: inefficient, maintenance-heavy, and incompatible with electric platforms. Beltdraulic™ delivers hydraulic-class force with electric efficiency and digital control, with zero fluid, zero leaks, and zero emissions. We've now sold and shipped two units to two different strategic customers, and the proof is building. 🔧 If you haven't invested yet, or you’re looking to increase your stake in the future of heavy machinery, now is the time. Use the link in our bio. Here's to many more units out the door. 🦾

Last week, RISE was in NYC for the contech 2026 Construction Robotics Summit and left with even more momentum and interest! 🦾 We spoke with investors actively looking for compelling deals in construction robotics, connected with potential customers bringing autonomy to job sites, and met suppliers who could help us scale RISE's production. We also came away with fresh insights into how robotics deployments are actually unfolding across the sector. The construction world is moving fast, and Beltdraulic™ is built for it. Fluid-free, 3x more efficient and durable than hydraulics, zero emissions, and fully AI-ready. With $9.7M in revenue, commercial products in market, and contracts with major defense services, RISE isn't a bet on what's coming. We're already here. Our new round is officially open.

🚨 MAJOR NEWS: RISE’s new community investment round is now OPEN on @Wefunder ! 🚨 Last year, 2,500+ investors joined our first Regulation Crowdfunding campaign and helped make RISE the #1 Reg CF campaign of 2025 — and one of the Top 80 campaigns of all time. 🏆 Since then, we’ve been moving fast: 🦾 Delivered our first commercial Beltdraulic™ cylinder 🚚 Launched a liftgate pilot with a major food & beverage distributor 👥 Hired a Head of Product (ex-Google) and Head of Manufacturing (ex-Raytheon) 🏅 Earned the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the World’s Strongest Robotic Arm Prototype 🇺🇸 Secured major defense programs with the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Army Our mission hasn’t changed since the last round, but the company has. RISE is no longer just proving the technology, we’re deploying it in the field and pushing toward even bigger milestones. Investor demand continues to grow alongside our commercial traction, so we’ve opened a new Regulation Crowdfunding round for non-accredited investors alongside a Reg D offering for accredited investors. If you missed the last round, or want to increase your investment, this is your opportunity to join at a pivotal stage of growth. A limited allocation is open at the same terms as the last round, and it won’t last long! 🦾Invest in RISE today using the link in our bio!
