We remove friction.

We find the opportunities for automation and build the tools that make daily work more productive — for small businesses, churches, and engineering teams at scale.

Every workflow has a stone in it.
We take it out.

01  // AUTOMATION

Production-Grade AI Automation

Friction: repetitive toil done by hand

Keying in documents, copying data between systems, triaging an inbox, assembling the same report every week. We find the repetitive work people still do by hand and automate it to run in production: evaluated, auditable, and measurable from the first week. Or we train your team to build it themselves, from first prompts to production agents.

02  // CONSULTING

Engineering Teams

Friction: the ten-minute build

From a startup’s first engineers to a mid-to-large org. Early on, we help shape the architecture, build the product with care for its details, and hire the founding team; at scale, we find where the daily workflow drags and build the tooling that removes it.

03  // TECH

Small Business Tech

Friction: busywork after closing time

Websites and operations software that take the busywork out of running a small business — prototype-first, so you see the real thing before you decide.

How it works →
04  // COMMUNITY

Church Tech

Friction: sign-up sheets and group texts

Taking the coordination friction out of Christian communities — communication, records, sign-ups — voluntarily.

05  // TOOLS

Tools

Friction: twenty emails to pick a time

Lightweight self-service tools, each removing one specific friction for small teams and groups. Free and ads-free.

// SCHEDULING

Huddle

// MAPPING

Venue Map

Bounded, embeddable venue maps. Search a venue, confirm its boundary, drop markers, and ship a locked-in map your visitors can navigate.

// PHONE PLANS

True Cost to Phone

What an iPhone 18 Pro really costs over 36 months — plan, phone, one-time fees and the trade-in you hand over — compared across Tello, Mint, T-Mobile, AT&T and Xfinity Mobile.

// WHAT WE BELIEVE

QUALITY FIRST

Everything we ship meets a high standard. No shortcuts.

ACCESSIBLE TECHNOLOGY

Enterprise-grade AI shouldn't require an enterprise budget.

FRICTION COMPOUNDS

A minute lost by everyone, every day, is a project worth doing. We look for those minutes.

OPEN BY DEFAULT

Our best work is shared freely.

FOUNDER

Ben Cao

A product builder with more than fifteen years of shipping software as an engineer, architect, and tool builder, and now building AI-powered products. Rising Company is where that work comes together: finding the friction in daily work and building the tools that remove it.
