Invest in the Future of Mobility

Ryze 1 is the world's first transformable road-to-sky electric 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 positioned for:

• Investor alignment: Institutional-grade governance and clean cap table structure
• FAA certification pathway: Powered-lift category with hydrogen propulsion roadmap
• Exit positioning: Attractive to US aerospace acquirers (Boeing, Lockheed, Textron)
• Grant access: Multiple aerospace and clean technology funding programs

Our R&D operations enable:

• McMaster University Engineering partnership for propulsion and structural validation
• Access to aerospace engineering talent pipeline
• Cost efficiency while maintaining strong IP ownership
• Grant programs supporting innovation and technology development

Technical Differentiation

• Dual-mode platform — Seamlessly transitions between road and sky
• Proprietary safety systems — Advanced redundancy architecture under patent development
• 100% electric propulsion — Zero emissions, whisper-quiet operation
• Compact footprint — Fits in a standard parking space on the ground
• Hydrogen-electric pathway — In active discussions with hydrogen aerospace technology vendors to extend range to 300+ km and 2+ hour flight time

Traction & Momentum

• ✅ Technical design 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 2027-2029 prototype, flight test, and certification 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:

• Primary FAA certification strategy ensures US market access (investor confidence)
• Transport Canada certification 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
• Proprietary safety architecture under patent development
• Cost-efficient R&D operations with university partnership
• First-mover in dual-mode eVTOL certification
