🚀 The AI Future of Marketing 🚀

With 7,000+ investors, ​RAD AI​ is disrupting the $633b content and data industry.

They help brands create content that resonates deeply with their target audience and, most importantly, deliver outsized ROI.

Last year we did an issue questioning if ​RAD AI is a good investment​. Since then...

• Nvidia's value went to $2 trillion

• Cisco spent $28b on its largest AI acquisition ever, and

• Reddit’s move to license data for AI has re-energized the IPO market.

That's the power of AI…

For RAD, ​the potential is evident in the numbers​:

• $27m raised since 2018

• 7,000+ investors, including VCs, execs at Google, Amazon and Meta

• ~3X revenue growth from 2022 to 2023 — while landing major clients, including Hasbro, Skechers, and Sweetgreen

• Leadership has 5 exits between them.

The round closes in one week! (Apr 29)

🎤 What you said last time

Loads of strong opinions about whether or not TikTok should be banned in the US.

Yes, it’s Chinese Spyware.

• “The Western governments are naive in hoping that totalitarian regimes will change into trustful trade partners. Copy and spy has been anchored in the Chinese DNA.”

• “We already have our own spyware. More is not better.”

• “Come on. Give us the option to pick "They don't allow any of our social media companies to operate in China so fair is fair" [Ed: Fair point]

• “While I strongly support open access to information, I believe applications like TikTok and Temu pose significant risks to the United States—both culturally and economically. In my view, these platforms represent a targeted threat to our country. Forfeiting these 'crapplications' is a worthwhile sacrifice to limit undue influence from China. As a professional in cybersecurity who does not use these platforms, I recognize my bias. However, I am also concerned about their profound social impact on our youth. Nonetheless, I am wary of the slippery slope this creates. Establishing a precedent for banning applications could lead to excessive government overreach and interference.”

No, that’s censorship.

• “It's censorship, but I don't use it, so I don't really care.”
