PLATE 02 — THE LAY OF THE LAND
02 / 09

Careers are still run on hand-me-down tools.

The market for individual career-progression software is large, fragmented, and structurally underserved. Every working professional confronts the same four problems and stitches together a different workaround for each. The result is friction, lost income, and a market in which only those with informal access to high-quality advice systematically win.

  1. 01 / SYMPTOM

    The job search is broken.

    A large share of résumés are filtered out by ATS keyword matching before a human ever reads them — industry analyses commonly put the figure above 70%. So people spray applications, the signal degrades further, and the median time-to-fill keeps lengthening.

    70%+résumés filtered before reaching a recruiter (industry estimate)
  2. 02 / SYMPTOM

    Money sits on the table.

    Candidates who negotiate first offers commonly report earning 7–15% more on average, with compounding effects on lifetime earnings because every later raise is computed off base. Fewer than half do it.

    7–15%typical lift from negotiating a first offer
  3. 03 / SYMPTOM

    Daily work is mechanical.

    Knowledge workers can lose well over an hour a day to typing emails, drafting docs, summarising meetings, and copying notes. Workplace-native dictation can recover a meaningful chunk of that time — consumer tools tend to miss the conventions you actually use.

    ≈90 minestimated time lost per workday on mechanics
  4. 04 / SYMPTOM

    Performance goes unrecognized.

    Many contributors struggle to articulate the business value of their own work. They list tasks, not outcomes. Visibility tends to win over effectiveness, and decisions get made by managers who are themselves guessing.

    —no system of record for individual impact

PLATE 03 — THE THREE PILLARS
03 / 09

Three pillars. Fourteen tools.

The natural arc of a working career has three phases — and Rizen ships one focused product for each beat inside them. Together the suite forms a defensible loop: every job change feeds the next negotiation, every productive day feeds the next review, and every win feeds the next résumé.

PILLAR I

Get Hired.

Winning offers worth taking.

  1. 01Rizen PitchResume & cover-letter engine, written from your wins.
  2. 02Rizen OfferEnd-to-end offer-negotiation engine. The 7–15% you leave on the table.
  3. 03Rizen RehearseMock interviews tuned to the rooms you'll actually walk into.
  4. 04Rizen SearchApplication tracker, not job board. Stealth mode by default.
PILLAR II

Get Productive.

Performing measurably better than peers — with the receipts to prove it.

  1. 01Rizen VoxOn-device dictation that knows the words your job uses.
  2. 02Rizen MindConstellations of ideas; one click breaks them into tasks.
  3. 03Rizen MeetMeeting intelligence, with action items pushed to your Ledger.
  4. 04Rizen LedgerA daily journal of wins. Translates the work into business value.
PILLAR III

Get Promoted.

Converting performance into title, scope, and compensation.

  1. 01Rizen CompassA 6–18 month plan for the next role you actually want.
  2. 02Rizen LiftPromotion & raise negotiator. The internal counterpart to Offer.
  3. 03Rizen SkillsSkill-gap analyzer. Provider-neutral on the courses.
  4. 04Rizen NetworkRelationship CRM with warmth scoring and outreach drafting.
  5. 05Rizen CompYear-over-year compensation hygiene. Alerts when you slip below market.
  6. 06Rizen ReviewTwo weeks before review cycle, the packet writes itself.
VOX IS LIVE TODAY. MIND IS NEXT. TWELVE MORE ON THE PRESS, IN ORDER.
PLATE 04 — RIZEN MIND
PLANNED · IDEA-TO-ACTION CANVAS

Mind.

Between Apple Notes and Notion. Constellations to action.

Mind treats every idea as a constellation. Click a star and you dive into the tasks underneath it — zoom-to-detail as a first-class metaphor, not a panel toggle. Two visual registers ship side by side: Atlas, a celestial-chart aesthetic for the ambitious; and Atelier, an ink-on-paper calm for solo founders, makers, and writers. Pick the one that suits the day.

  • · ZOOM-TO-DETAIL: CONSTELLATIONS BREAK INTO STARS, STARS INTO TASKS
  • · TWO REGISTERS — ATLAS (CELESTIAL) AND ATELIER (CALM)
  • · FREE FOR INDIVIDUALS · SUITE PRO UNLOCKS UNLIMITED MAPS

LIVE NOW · WORKPLACE-NATIVE DICTATION

Vox

Type at the speed of speech. Without uploading a syllable.

Vox turns what you say into clean text in whatever app you’re already in — Slack, Linear, your IDE, your inbox. The transcription model runs on your device — audio is processed locally and is not sent to our servers, logged, or used to improve the model. And it knows the words your job uses: P0, OKR, PRD, DRI, your stack, your company. Free for individual personal use.

PLATE 06 — THE GRAPH
06 / 09

One profile. Yours.

Most career tools are graveyards of static data — the profile last edited on signup day. Rizen is built around a different commitment. Every win you log, every offer you negotiate, every meeting you transcribe enriches the same graph. The product gets more valuable the longer you stay in it.

The graph is structured, versioned, and portable. You can export it in machine-readable form within thirty seconds, any time you like. We are the processor. You are the controller. Trust is the moat — we invest accordingly.

Local-firstVox runs on-device. Audio is processed locally and is not sent to our servers.

PLATE 07 — THE HOUSE
07 / 09

A suite, not a Swiss Army knife.

Most career software wants to swallow your week — one dashboard, twelve tabs, a thousand fields, a notifications graveyard. We don’t believe in that shape. A career has chapters, and each chapter deserves an app that respects it. Rizen is a small set of focused tools that share one thing: a profile owned by you, compounding in value with every win you log. The apps stand alone. They feel familiar. They get out of the way.

Make every professional the most informed person in their own salary negotiation.

— RIZEN, MISSION STATEMENT
FOUR BRAND PILLARS
01

Speed.

Faster than typing. Faster than blank-canvas paralysis.

02

Receipts.

Every claim backed by data you can inspect and edit.

03

Leverage.

A better next paycheck — not another inbox.

04

Calm.

No hustle theatrics. No LinkedIn-bro tone.

WHAT WE BELIEVE
  1. 01We believe career outcomes shouldn't depend on who you happen to know.
  2. 02We believe one product done well beats ten dashboards done averagely.
  3. 03We believe receipts beat rhetoric — every claim should be inspectable.
  4. 04We believe your career data is yours, and most of it should never leave your machine.
  5. 05We believe negotiation is not confrontation; we coach, we don't burn bridges.
  6. 06We believe a tool you're glad to open is a competitive advantage.
PLATE 08 — THE PATRONS
08 / 09

Read the proofs first.

Rizen is set on a long bench, plate by plate. Vox has come off the press; the rest are at stages of finish. Patrons read every proof in closed alpha before it goes public — and keep the perks of being early once the print run begins. The list closes when the public Suite launches, or at the end of MMXXVII — whichever comes first.

HOW PATRONAGE WORKS
  1. 01Closed early access, in perpetuity. Each Rizen app reaches patrons in closed alpha as it nears readiness — Mind is next, with Ledger and Pitch following; Offer, Rehearse, Meet, Compass, Lift, and the rest in turn as they come off the bench. When an app graduates to public release, patrons subscribe to keep using it.
  2. 02The perks of being early. Tier-specific benefits that follow you into those subscriptions — discounts where applicable, founder access at the higher tiers, and a permanent name in the colophon for the patrons who set the type with us.
