Invest in the Future of Mobility

Ryze 1 is the world's first transformable road-to-sky vehicle. Join us in building it.

Why Ryze Mobility?

Market Opportunity

The urban air mobility market is projected to reach $30B+ by 2030. Ryze uniquely bridges ground and air transport, creating a new category that solves congestion, enables Arctic logistics, and delivers premium personal aviation.

Total Addressable Market: $25B-$45B by 2035 across dual-mode eVTOL segments (personal aviation, remote logistics, urban mobility, emergency services).

Strategic Positioning

Ryze Mobility is a Delaware C-Corp — a US aerospace company structured for:

• Investor alignment: VC-standard governance, familiar securities law, clean cap table
• FAA certification pathway: Powered-lift category with hydrogen propulsion roadmap
• Exit positioning: Attractive to US aerospace acquirers (Boeing, Lockheed, Textron)
• Grant access: NSF, NASA, DARPA, DoD SBIR programs for US-domiciled companies

Our Canadian subsidiary enables:

• R&D operations: McMaster University Engineering partnership for propulsion and structural validation
• Grant access: SR&ED (35% refundable), IRAP, MITACS, Co-op subsidies
• Top talent: Access to Canadian aerospace engineering pipeline
• Cost efficiency: Lower R&D costs while maintaining US IP ownership

Technical Differentiation

• Dual-mode platform — Seamlessly transitions between road and sky
• AI-Based Dynamic Redundancy — 8-motor safety system with predictive fault tolerance
• Three potential propulsion technologies — From Hybrid to Zero emissions, targeting whisper-quiet operation
• Compact footprint — Fits in a standard parking space on the ground
• Hydrogen-electric pathway — In active discussions with 4-5 hydrogen aerospace technology vendors to transition from battery-electric to hydrogen-electric propulsion, targeting 300+ km range and 2+ hour flight time

Traction & Momentum

• ✅ Feasibility Studies Complete
• ✅ Gen 6 CAD complete and validated
• ✅ McMaster University Engineering partnership secured
• ✅ Communitech accelerator support
• ✅ FAA and Transport Canada regulatory engagement initiated
• ✅ Dual-track certification strategy defined
• ✅ Grant applications in progress (INSAT, NSERC ARD)
• ✅ Growing waitlist of early adopters
• ✅ Clear near-term prototype and flight-test roadmap

Regulatory Pathway De-Risked

Dual-Track Certification Strategy:

• FAA (Primary): Powered-lift certification for world's largest aviation market
• Transport Canada (Parallel): Fast-track certification gets us flying 2-3 years earlier
• AAM Roadmap: Harmonized standards enable streamlined validation across USA, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand (471M population)

Why this de-risks investment:

• US company pursuing US certification (investor confidence)
• TC cert gets us flying and delivering by 2029 (revenue, proof of technology)
• FAA validation leverages TC certification work (cost-efficient, not redundant)
• 5-country market access via single regulatory framework

Competitive Landscape

While companies like Joby, Archer, and Lilium focus on air-only eVTOLs for urban air taxis, Ryze is building the only transformable platform that operates seamlessly on roads and in the sky—unlocking personal ownership and wider use cases.

Our differentiation:

• Only dual-mode platform with vertical takeoff (no runway needed)
• Compact parking-space footprint on ground
• AI-Based Dynamic Redundancy safety system
• US company with Canadian R&D cost advantages
• First-mover in dual-mode eVTOL certification
