Compliance

9 in-scope frameworks identified; showing 3.

ISAE 3000 (source) — No public evidence

An ISAE 3000 attestation could be sought by Rye AI to provide assurance over non-financial information, such as the effectiveness of its AI governance controls or sustainability reporting, which are becoming increasingly important for stakeholders.

Digital Services Act — No public evidence

As a provider of online services within the EU, including a community idea board where users can publicly post content, Rye AI likely falls under the scope of the Digital Services Act as an intermediary service.

NIS2 (source) — No public evidence

Applicability is uncertain without information on company size (employee count, turnover). If Rye AI is a medium or large entity, it could be in scope as a provider of digital services or ICT service management, which are covered sectors.

Financials

Three-year financials

Financial Resilience Score: 4/10

Rye AI is a micro-scale Danish AI startup that has only completed its inaugural fiscal year (8 January 2025 – 31 December 2025). The company achieved the notable feat of being profitable from year one, delivering a small positive EBIT of DKK 45.2K and net profit of DKK 35.1K, which is unusual for an early-stage AI company. Equity of DKK 75.1K is fully funded by retained earnings with no accumulated losses, and the lean cost base (3 average employees) provides operational flexibility. However, the financial resilience is fundamentally constrained by scale. Equity of DKK 75.1K provides virtually no buffer against adverse events such as a lost client, a bad quarter, or working capital shocks. Revenue is not disclosed (permitted under Danish B-micro reporting), making it impossible to assess client concentration, but with a handful of staff it is highly likely that 1-2 clients drive most income. The business model combines project-based consultancy (inherently lumpy) with open-source model releases that monetize indirectly, creating cash conversion risk. Additional concerns include a headcount contraction from 3 average employees in FY2025 to 1 currently registered in CVR, which cannot yet be interpreted without further filings. On balance, the company is solvent and profitable but lacks any meaningful financial cushion, warranting a below-average resilience score.

Key strengths: Profitable from inaugural fiscal year with positive EBIT of DKK 45.2K, Positive equity of DKK 75.1K fully funded by retained earnings, Lean cost structure with only 3 average employees, Defensible niche in Danish-language speech technology, underserved by global big-tech, Strong open-source community visibility (Open Danish ASR Leaderboard, Hugging Face presence) generating low-cost inbound deal flow

Risk factors: Micro-scale equity base (DKK 75.1K) offers no buffer against adverse events, Headcount contraction from 3 to 1 employee signals potential instability, Undisclosed revenue prevents assessment of client concentration risk, Project-based consultancy revenue is inherently lumpy and non-recurring, Open-source business model creates tension between brand-building and direct monetization, Likely high customer concentration given small team size, No track record - only one fiscal year filed, no YoY comparisons possible
