đź“ť Klarna's potential IPO
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.

News of the Day
Klarna took a major step toward its long-awaited U.S. IPO by making its F-1 prospectus public, aiming to raise $1 billion at a $15 billion valuation. While key pricing details remain unknown, Klarna’s rebound from a $6.5 billion valuation low to $14.6 billion suggests renewed investor confidence. The Swedish fintech also reported a profitable 2024, with $2.8 billion in revenue and a $21 million net profit, reversing a $244 million loss in 2023. Klarna’s AI-powered efficiency drive, cutting 1,500 jobs and saving $40 million annually, may further entice investors ahead of its Wall Street debut.
A stunning essay in the FT on the international decline in the ability to read, reason, focus, and learn new things.
It began or accelerated in the early 2010s.
It's hitting teens AND adults.
Self-report and objective scores.
