Last year, we launched our first Regulation Crowdfunding campaign with resounding success.

More than 2,500 investors joined our mission to electrify heavy machines and we oversubscribed our round to make RISE the #1 Reg CF campaign of 2025, a top-rated deal on Kingscrowd with a 4.7/5.0 rating, and the #1 campaign in Massachusetts history.

Since opening our first round, we’ve hit major milestones:

1. Sold and delivered our first commercial Beltdraulic™ cylinder
2. Launched a Beltdraulic™ liftgate pilot with a major food and beverage distributor
3. Secured multiple coveted defense contracts
4. Hired a Head of Product (ex-Google) and Head of Manufacturing (ex-iRobot)
5. Earned a GUINNESS WORLD RECORD™ title for the World’s Strongest Robotic Arm Prototype, lifting more than 7,000 pounds

Now, we’re scaling manufacturing, expanding partnerships, and growing revenue across multiple industries.

The mission hasn’t changed. The company has. We’re much more evolved, and we’re actively deploying our technology and collecting data in the field.

Investor demand continues to surge along with commercial pull, so we’ve opened a new Reg CF round for non-accredited investors in addition to a fee-free Reg D offering.

The terms reflected on the right are for the Reg CF, open to all investors with a minimum investment of $250. Accredited investors can access our Reg D offering at $49.7M pre-money valuation ($8.58/share), with a $5,000 minimum and limited spots remaining. You will be directed to the appropriate page once you enter an investment amount in the box on the right.

Join us and invest in RISE today. 🦾

With RISE Robotics, heavy machines have never been more productive, efficient, safe, smooth, economical, eco-friendly, or AI-ready.

Backed by Techstars, MIT’s Engine Ventures, and Fortistar Capital, and designed by alumni from MIT and Rhode Island School of Design, RISE’s proprietary Beltdraulic™ motion control technology is transforming the $600B+ heavy machines industry.

Our vision is to create a world where high-performance machines no longer rely on oil and diesel to amplify human workers. The heavy machinery industry has been left behind in the push for electrification and AI, and without innovations like ours, reaching net-zero and autonomous machines would likely be economically unviable.

RISE isn’t another robotics company — it’s the future of superhero-caliber machines, powering the shift towards a sustainable, zero-emissions, amplified future for us all.

Existing motion control technology for heavy machines is insanely inefficient, mind-blowingly wasteful, dangerous, and detrimental to both company profits and the environment.​​

The vast majority of heavy machinery used in industries like construction, mining, and agriculture relies on oil-based hydraulics, a technology that uses fluid power to control, transform, and transmit mechanical power.

These industries, which account for more than 20% of the global economy—an estimated $21 trillion—are under increasing pressure to meet stricter environmental regulations and increase output while controlling costs.

As the industrial workforce shrinks, automation is imperative in heavy machinery. However, heavy machines are currently analog, lacking the precision, sensing, and and native digital control systems required for real-time decision-making and automation.

Electrifying around hydraulics only magnifies the problem. Attempts to electrify without eliminating the inefficiency of hydraulics drive battery size, weight, and system costs through the roof.

Pure electric actuators exist, but they cannot deliver the force, speed, displacement, and utilization that motion control systems demand.

This fundamental mismatch between electric power, hydraulic architecture, and automation requirements is the core barrier holding back the electrification and autonomy of the heavy machinery industry.

RISE’s solution: a fluid-free actuator that combines the speed and efficiency of robotics with the power and durability of heavy machinery. Our innovative technology uses belts and pulleys instead of oil, delivering superior performance at half the operating cost of hydraulics — with zero emissions.

This breakthrough makes fully electric heavy machinery not just a possibility, but a practical and powerful reality.

Our patented motion control Beltdraulic™ technology guarantees that machine operators benefit from a safer, quieter, mess-free experience with unwavering execution. In addition, our technology is self-monitoring and easy to maintain.

Whether it’s handling shipping containers at a port, unloading food and beverage delivery trucks, or operating a forklift at a warehouse, RISE’s technology ensures seamless, faster transfer without goods or materials ever being dropped, broken, damaged, or lost, all while minimizing risks to workers.

RISE delivers unmatched motion control with paramount safety and environmental protection.

RISE is leading the charge to automate heavy machines.

The machines that we build are digital, ready for AI and autonomous systems, powering greater precision and amplifying the capabilities and capacity of machine operators.

With natural haptic feedback from motor current sensing and native belt/rod position tracking, our actuators provide real-time load data and seamless integration with AI-driven systems.

No external sensors, no endless trial and error—just precision movement, built-in intelligence, and readiness for the future of machine automation.

We believe RISE is the first company to offer a true high-performance, shock-ready alternative to hydraulics with no pollution, leaking oil and no emissions.

We enable robotics and AI for heavy machinery in a big way, and have established a significant defensible moat based on our IP, know-how, and partnerships.

RISE holds over 20 worldwide patents granted or pending which protect the core innovations of our Beltdraulic™ technology. In addition, our ability to offer solutions that meet future environmental regulations without compromising performance gives us a major advantage in industries like construction, mining, and agriculture​.
