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 β Seamlessly transitions between road and sky
- Proprietary safety systems β Advanced redundancy architecture under patent development
- 100% electric propulsion β Zero emissions, whisper-quiet operation
- Compact footprint β Fits in a standard parking space on the ground
- Hydrogen-electric pathway β In active discussions with hydrogen aerospace technology vendors to extend range to 300+ km and 2+ hour flight time
Traction & Momentum
- β Technical design complete and validated
- β McMaster University Engineering partnership secured
- β Communitech accelerator support
- β FAA and Transport Canada regulatory engagement initiated
- β Dual-track certification strategy defined
- β Grant applications in progress (INSAT, NSERC ARD)
- β Growing waitlist of early adopters
- β 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 skyβunlocking 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
