Rise Science is a health-tech company that created the energy and sleep tracker subscription app RISE. The RISE app combines automatic sleep tracking, a gentle alarm, and many other tools to help users improve their daily energy levels. The company was founded in 2014 and initially focused on helping collegiate and professional athletic teams sleep more to perform better [1][2][3][4][5]. Rise Science's mission is to help humanity have more great days.
History[edit]
Rise Science was founded by a trio of Northwestern alumni: CEO Jeff Kahn[6], Jacob Kelter, and CTO Leon Sasson, who studied engineering design & innovation, complex systems science, and data science [7]. Kahn and Sasson pursued Rise Science initially as an independent study at Northwestern, where they investigated to see how sleep behavior change and wearable technology could reverse the fatigue and low energy they struggled with as students. [2][3][4]From early work with the Northwestern Football team, they built Rise Science into a Chicago-based, [6] sleep optimization startup that worked for a sleep improvement program to elite athletic teams and organizations through a part-human, part-digital sleep coach. [8] Rise Science enabled professional athletes to maximize their sleep. [9] With RISE, 97% of players reported sleeping 60+ minutes more per night, resulting in a 70% decrease in injury rates for the season, 8% faster reaction time, 5% increase in successful plays, and 3-5 more plays per game. [9]
Products[edit]
RISE App
In June 2020, the company launched the RISE app in beta and had 20,000 to 30,000 installs per week. [1] The app had over 1 million downloads worldwide by mid-2021. [2]
The RISE app by Rise Science is a subscription-based energy management app [1][2][10] that combines automatic sleep tracking, an alarm, and other tools to optimize users’ sleep and daily energy levels. The RISE app is currently listed and available for download on the iOS App Store and Google Play Store. [1]
Core functionality
The RISE app tracks human circadian rhythm and sleep debt to help understand and optimize daily energy levels. [2][4] The RISE app is part sleep tracker, part analytics, and part energy management subscription-based app.
Based on the two-process model of sleep regulation, which takes into account both circadian rhythms and sleep debt, the app shows users at what times their energy levels will be high and low throughout the day. It also provides advice on how to improve routines and habits to help users get enough sleep and increase energy levels. [2] In order to determine a user’s optimal sleep schedule, the RISE app analyzes phone movement, health, and activity data. [4] It can also be paired with wearable fitness trackers, such as the Apple Watch, Fitbit, Oura, and Garmin. [1] [10]
Fundraising[edit]
Rise Science is funded by Goodwater Capital, True Ventures, Freestyle Capital, and High Alpha.[1][11]
Recognition[edit]
The New York Times, [12] Harvard Business Review, [5] and The Wall Street Journal have recognized Rise Science and the RISE app. They have also been featured on ESPN, [8] NBC,[13] and in USA Today.[6]
