I have been a member of Rizex for two years. The Networking opportunities are numerous. More importantly members share knowledge with each other to develop professional skills and opportunities. The monthly speakers are informative as well. Ryan stays in touch with each member making sure they are maximizing their experience. I definitely recommend becoming a member.
Read MoreSteve ElferingHaving bootstrapped several ventures from startup to both failure and reasonable success, it’s been tempting to settle in the mindset that I have to figure everything out myself. But I’d reached the point where my company was bottle-necked because I wear too many hats.In less than 6 months, the RizeX experience—process and people—have given me a whole new outlook: there are people in similar situations with new perspective, others with much more experience who’re willing to share, and a sense of belonging that all together have given me more confidence to level up than I’ve had in years. Add in the opportunity to offer my own ideas and it’s become a gratifying few hours that I’ve come to look forward to each month.The RizeX team hold themselves to a high standard and set an excellent example. Highly recommend, well worth the time/$$ investment.

Its by far the best networking community I have been a part of.

After a few events at RizeX, I felt like I was with my “people”.I have built relationships at RizeX that will last a lifetime and I love the energy I have each time I leave the monthly meetings and reconnects.Being in a room and at a table with alike and different minds each month has propelled my career.
