“As industries continue to pursue greater efficiency and sustainability, advancements in machine technology play an important role in creating a more resilient industrial future,” said Dustin Schwarz, programming director for the Advancements series.

It was an incredible honor to have a TV crew film our technology in motion live at RISE HQ and interview our team on what it takes to update a century-old standard.

Manufacturing Outlook just named RISE Robotics its Top Robotics Manufacturing Company of 2026! 🏆

Manufacturing Outlook is a trade publication that covers industrial manufacturing for supply chain leaders and equipment executives. Their editorial board evaluates companies technologies and strategies in the global manufacturing sector, awarding based on impact, and we're honored by the recognition.

Here’s what impressed them most:
- On an all-electric liftgate, Beltdraulic™ cuts cycle times roughly in half and trims about 200 pounds off system weight versus a hydraulic equivalent, meaning faster stops, more payload, and less downtime for fleet operators.
- On the defense side, our Beltdraulic™ SuperJammer set a record for the world's strongest robotic arm prototype, lifting 7,015 pounds, which helped earn us a $3M AFWERX Tactical Funding Increase from the U.S. Air Force.

Their conclusion: RISE Robotics is the premier choice for executives evaluating fluid-free actuation in robotics manufacturing.

Hydraulics built the last era of heavy machinery. We're building the actuation layer for the next one, and independent recognition like this confirms we're on the right track.

Kingscrowd selected RISE as one of only a handful of companies to pitch live at their Startup Showcase in San Francisco, right in the middle of SF Tech Week – and you’re invited to Wefunder’s HQ to watch!

Kingscrowd has built a standout data-driven research platform, objectively tracking and rating thousands of crowdfunding deals and companies. They rated RISE a top deal with a 4.6 out of 5, and they invested. Now, they're putting us in front of the investors and entrepreneurs flooding into the Bay Area for Tech Week alongside two other carefully selected companies raising on Wefunder.

If you're in San Francisco for Tech Week, come see it in person:
📅 Thursday, October 8 | 5:00–7:30 PM
📍 Wefunder HQ, 1885 Mission Street, San Francisco
🎟️ RSVP: https://hubs.ly/Q04y35tH0

We’re excited to show the SF tech community what Beltdraulic™ is all about: patented actuator technology that is 3x faster, more efficient, and more durable than the incumbent, trusted by the U.S. Air Force and commercial customers.

Exciting news: RISE has crossed $10M in total revenue. 🎉

That revenue reflects years of work taking Beltdraulic™ from breakthrough technology into real-world commercial and defense applications. Revenue is one of the best signals that our technology works, is delivering value, and that the market is ready to leave inefficient fluid-filled, leak-prone systems behind.

We're not stopping here. RISE is kicking off our third liftgate pilot in early October, on top of the commercial and defense contracts already generating revenue today. This milestone stands on the foundation we've spent years building: 20+ patents, a world record title, and a system that is 3x faster, more efficient, and more reliable than hydraulics, with zero emissions.

3,100+ investors across 73 countries are already building this future with us. If you've been waiting for a sign to invest, this is it.

A €56B French industrial giant just toured our lab.

Last week, we welcomed a senior delegation from Groupe Bouygues, including their Group Chief Innovation Officer and technical heads from across their construction and infrastructure divisions.

It was a huge honor to introduce 13 pioneering leaders from the ~€56B French industrial group to our Beltdraulic™ technology, a fluid-free electric actuation system that is 3x faster, 3x more efficient, 3x more durable, and 20% lighter than hydraulics.

Construction is one of the largest markets still running on hydraulics: systems that leak oil, waste energy, and need constant maintenance. A company the size and caliber of Bouygues sending this level of seniority to see our technology firsthand indicates that the industry is ready for better alternatives.

Thank you to Jewan John Bae and MIT School of Engineering's Office of Corporate Relations for coordinating the visit, and to the Groupe Bouygues team for spending the morning with us at our HQ in Somerville, MA!

We're building toward tremendous commercial demand in a $750B market that hasn't changed in a century, and you can own a stake in our growth. Learn more and join 3,100+ investors in backing RISE on Wefunder 👉 https://hubs.ly/Q04xwZYz0
