RISE Community

What RISE Community does

RISE Community, operating under the legal entity RISE VENTURES, is a faith-based coaching and membership platform founded by Cory Carlson in 2019 and based in Cincinnati, Ohio. The company targets men who are professionally successful but feel personally unfulfilled - specifically faith-driven business leaders, executives, and entrepreneurs seeking to integrate work, family, and faith. Its core product is the RISE Community Membership, sold as a self-serve subscription at $295/month or $2,995/year, bundling weekly Monday group coaching calls (12-1 p.m. EST), monthly guest speakers, an on-demand video content vault, community discussions, a member directory, and two bonus books authored by the founder. The offering is anchored on three proprietary frameworks - the Five Capitals Framework, the Rise & Go methodology, and a 60/20/20 Life Integration Model allocating focus across work, personal life, and mindset/faith - and is delivered entirely through Zoom and a web-based member portal with no native mobile application.

Direct peers

• Mindvalley: Subscription-based online personal growth platform delivering cohort programs, on-demand courses, and a member community. Closely comparable digital-delivery, content-vault, and community-led model aimed at self-improvement buyers.
• Strategic Coach: Premium subscription coaching community for entrepreneurs and executives using proprietary frameworks and small-group coaching, with tiered pricing well above RISE. Directly comparable business model of recurring fees, named IP, and founder-led content.
• Promise Keepers: Faith-based men's organization focused on spiritual growth, leadership, and family/marriage equipping. Closely aligned with RISE's faith-driven male audience and brotherhood positioning, though delivered via events rather than subscription.
• Iron Sharpens Iron: Men's ministry and small-group program centered on faith, marriage, and leadership. Targets the same faith-driven male demographic as RISE with comparable peer-accountability framing, though primarily volunteer/church-based rather than paid subscription.

Broad incumbents

• Vistage: Established peer-advisory and executive coaching membership for CEOs and business leaders, organized in small groups with monthly meetings. Broader and more institutionalized than RISE but operates the same core formula of paid peer coaching for senior leaders.
• YPO (Young Presidents' Organization): Global membership organization for CEOs offering peer learning, forums, and leadership development. Competes for executive attention and dues budget with a much larger institutional footprint than RISE.
• Tony Robbins (Business Mastery / Results Coaching): Mass-market personal development and business coaching brand with high-ticket masterminds and group programs. Competes for the same executive self-improvement wallet share with significantly greater scale and brand reach.

Emerging players

• James Clear (Atomic Habits ecosystem): Author-led personal development brand built around a flagship framework (habit formation) with courses, newsletters, and an audience funnel. Represents the same founder-brand-to-content-machine archetype that RISE is building, with similar top-of-funnel dynamics.
• Band of Brothers: Faith-based men's discipleship and community program with a strong brotherhood and accountability focus. Competes for the same niche audience as RISE through local chapters and small groups rather than a centralized digital community.

Regional players

• ManUp Ministries: Faith-based men's ministry focused on fatherhood, marriage, and leadership. Overlaps with RISE's faith-driven male leadership positioning but delivers primarily through conferences and events rather than ongoing paid membership.
