Flying Without boundaries

Regulation CF allows investors to invest in startups and early-growth companies. This is different from helping a company raise money on Kickstarter; with Regulation CF Offerings, you aren’t buying products or merchandise - you are buying a piece of a company and helping it grow.

Accredited investors can invest as much as they want. But if you are NOT an accredited investor, your investment limit depends on either your annual income or net worth, whichever is greater. If the number is less than $124,000, you can only invest 5% of it. If both are greater than $124,000 then your investment limit is 10%

To calculate your net worth, just add up all of your assets and subtract all of your liabilities (excluding the value of the person’s primary residence). The resulting sum is your net worth.

We cannot give tax advice, and we encourage you to talk with your accountant or tax advisor before making an investment.

Individuals over 18 years of age can invest.

There will always be some risk involved when investing in a startup or small business. And the earlier you get in the more risk that is usually present. If a young company goes out of business, your ownership interest could lose all value. You may have limited voting power to direct the company due to dilution over time.  You may also have to wait about five to seven years (if ever) for an exit via acquisition, IPO, etc. Because early-stage companies are still in the process of perfecting their products, services, and business model, nothing is guaranteed. That’s why startups should only be part of a more balanced, overall investment portfolio.

The Common Stock (the "Shares") of RYSE Aero Technologies (the "Company") are not publicly-traded. As a result, the shares cannot be easily traded or sold. As an investor in a private company, you typically look to receive a return on your investment under the following  scenarios: The Company gets acquired by another company; or the Company goes public (makes an initial public offering). In an acquisition, you receive your ownership share of the distributions that occur, and in the case of a public offering, you can sell your shares on an exchange. These are both considered long-term exits, taking approximately 5-10 years (and often longer) to see the possibility for an exit.  It can sometimes take years to build companies. Sometimes there will not be any return, as a result of business failure. 

Shares sold via Regulation Crowdfunding offerings have a one-year lockup period before those shares can be sold under certain conditions.

If a company does not reach their minimum funding target, all funds will be returned to the investors after the close of the offering.

All available disclosure information can be found on the offering pages for our Regulation Crowdfunding offering. 

You can cancel your investment at any time, for any reason, until 48 hours prior to a closing occurring. If you’ve already funded your investment and your funds are in escrow, your funds will be promptly refunded to you upon cancellation. To submit a request to cancel your investment please email: ir@ryseaerotech.com.

At a minimum, the company will be filing with the SEC and posting on its website an annual report, along with audited financial statements.  Those should be available 120 days after the fiscal year end.  If the company meets a reporting exception, or eventually has to file more reported information to the SEC, the reporting described above may end. If these reports end, you may not continually have current financial information about the company.

Once an offering ends, the company may continue its relationship with DealMaker Securities for additional offerings in the future. DealMaker Securities’ affiliates may also provide ongoing services to the company. There is no guarantee any services will continue after the offering ends.

eVTOLs are on the cutting edge of flight, and RYSE Aero Tech’s RECON has broad market appeal because it does not require a pilot license to fly or special certifications to manufacture. It is also a practical solution for industries like agriculture, where people need to get to hard-to-reach places quickly and easily. 

Many companies are working on air taxi eVTOLs, but building an ultralight eVTOL is a completely different skill set. The advantage to an ultralight is that it does not require a pilot license to operate and can be sold without FAA certification, a time-consuming and expensive process. The hard part about an ultralight is that the vehicle needs to operate safely while not weighing more than 254 pounds, subject to adjustment for floatation. Our team of aerospace and race car engineers have figured it out.

The money raised will be mostly for, but not limited to, capital expenditures for the build-out of our manufacturing facilities, including manufacturing equipment, and the continued research and development, selling and administrative expenses to operate our company.

We are focusing on the agricultural market first because there is a real ROI to be gained for the customer that often is missing from disruptive technology. The additional value of knowing they will use the product on private land and have a long history of maintaining and respecting equipment was part of the decision. 

We are located in Mason, Ohio, just outside of Cincinnati.

We have 15 full-time employees, mostly engineers, with an additional four hourly part-time employees.

Our pre-orders primarily include farmers who want to use the RECON for their business and large
landowners who want to use the RECON for recreation (it’s fun to fly!). We believe these will be our
primary initial markets, and we expect to expand into oil & gas, government & parks services, military,
and mining industries that have attractive profitability for us.

Our pre-orders primarily include U.S. farmers who want to use the RECON for their business and large
U.S. landowners who want to use the RECON for recreation. We believe these will be our primary initial
markets, and we expect over time there will be demand for the RECON in international markets that
have attractive profitability for us.

We have three provisional patents filed, with the possibility of expanding to six.

Our vehicle design is the only six-independent propulsion system on the market. Our design was created by engineers that built aircraft previously in the configuration of our competitors currently known to us in the market. We chose this design because we believe it is safer and has more redundancies. We also believe the durability of our design in agriculture and other high-wear markets will be an advantage. One of the key differences is our battery system is distributed, with each motor having its own battery at the point of location. Others typically have their motor under a seat or clustered throughout their spars. With independent battery management systems for each pack and the use of a high-voltage bus away from the occupant, the risk of battery injury is very limited in our view. We also believe the added advantage of being able to takeoff and land in water over most of our competitors is a valuable tool to our customers.

The RECON is regulated under Title 14, Part 103 of the code of federal regulations. Under Part 103.7 Certification and Registration, it states: “Notwithstanding any other section pertaining to airman certification, operators of ultralight vehicles are not required to meet any aeronautical knowledge, age or experience requirements to operate those vehicles or to have airman or medical certificates.: 

With over 260 reservations from both farmers and consumers, the RECON’s MSRP is currently $150,000 plus tax and delivery. Typical farm equipment costs anywhere from $150,000 to $750,000. The RECON is viewed as large farm equipment that can replace ATVs, UTVs, and tractors that would otherwise compact soil and crops. At its price point, it is cheaper than buying a used helicopter that would require a high degree of skill and a pilot license to operate.

Our first RECON units are estimated to be shipped in December 2023.

The money raised will be mostly for, but not limited to, capital expenditures for the build-out of our
manufacturing facilities, including manufacturing equipment, and the continued research and
development, selling and administrative expenses to operate our company.
