🚀 Yorkseed at SXSW – Making Last-Minute Magic Happen! 🚀

We’re still reminiscing about the incredible energy of SXSW, and a full recap is coming next week! But in true Yorkseed fashion, we couldn’t wait to share some highlights.

In true Yorkseed fashion way, we pulled off a Yorkseed House pop-up in just 12 hours—yes, you read that right! Huge shoutout to The Lively Grit Daily House for hosting us and making this happen.

Not stopping there, we also assembled a powerhouse Yorkseed Investor Panel in 12 hours, featuring six accredited investors sharing insights on Capital Raising & Beyond the Check.

And we’re not done yet—we’re keeping the momentum going with a last-minute Yorkseed Passport Series event while we’re in town.

🔥 Full recap coming next week, but here’s a sneak peek at what we’ve accomplished so far:

This smart home company grew 200%…

No, it’s not Ring or Nest—it’s RYSE, a leader in smart shade automation, and you can invest for just $1.90 per share.

RYSE’s innovative SmartShades have already transformed how people control their window coverings, bringing automation to homes without the need for expensive replacements.

This year alone, RYSE has seen revenue grow by 200% year over year and expanded into 127 Best Buy stores, with international markets on the horizon. Plus, with partnerships with major retailers like Home Depot and Lowe’s already in the works, they’re just getting started.

Now is your chance to invest in the company disrupting home automation—before they hit their next phase of explosive growth. But don’t wait; this opportunity won’t last long.
