When Hasbro wanted to relaunch HeroQuest—a beloved board game from 1989—they faced a familiar marketing challenge—how to reach both nostalgic fans and new audiences in a fragmented digital landscape.
Their solution came from a company most people have never heard of, despite its growing influence with major brands. Using RAD Intel’s AI-powered platform, Hasbro achieved over 120% improved paid performance, nearly 90% higher engagement rates, and doubled content effectiveness – impressive results in today’s highly competitive, noisy gaming market.
Now, RAD Intel, the Silicon Valley success story is offering retail investors a rare opportunity to get in early. Having grown from a $5 million valuation to $85 million in just four years, RAD Intel has opened equity shares to the public at $0.55 per share, with a minimum investment of $990.90—an opportunity that’s already attracted over 6,000 investors including Adobe and Fidelity Ventures.
From Fortune 1000 Secret to Public Opportunity
“The secret to viral content is no longer a fluke; it’s a formula,” Fast Company wrote in a recent profile of RAD Intel, underlining how the company’s AI technology is transforming marketing from guesswork to science.
Founded by serial entrepreneur Jeremy Barnett and tech veteran Bradley Silver, RAD Intel has quietly built a strong client roster that boasts the likes of Fortune 1000 brands, including Hasbro, Omnicom Media Group, MGM Resorts and Skechers.
The company’s rise hasn’t gone completely unnoticed by institutional investors, either. RAD Intel has secured over $37 million in funding from venture capitalists, Fortune 1000 companies and tech industry insiders—including employees from Google, Amazon, YouTube, and Meta.
Now, through an SEC-qualified, Regulation A equity share offering on Dealmaker that launched February 20, 2025 and runs until June 23, 2025, RAD Intel is raising $12 million to accelerate its growth in the $633 billion digital marketing industry.
AI That Actually Works: 12+ Years of Research Behind the Tech
While many companies claim AI capabilities, RAD Intel’s technology stands apart—built on more than a decade of research and development – and years of real-world client success.
“We’ve created an artificial intelligence that understands the language of the internet,” CEO Jeremy Barnett told Forbes last year. The proprietary AI analyzes datasets from Reddit, Google, and social platforms to gauge real-time sentiments and trends, helping brands make data-driven decisions rather than relying on outdated assumptions or personal bias.
The platform’s capabilities solve three marketing challenges:
1. The Audience Problem
RAD Intel’s persona generator reveals exactly who a brand’s customers are—their topics, interests, and the triggers that drive them to action. It eliminates guesswork in customer targeting.
2. The Influencer Problem
The platform’s AI identifies the perfect personalities to deliver a brand’s message for maximum ROI, ranking influencers based on expertise, audience demographics, and authentic engagement.
3. The Content Problem
Before content creation begins, RAD Intel’s technology reveals what customers care about, who’s best to deliver the message, and the key ingredients for content that resonates—and often goes viral.
The capabilities have delivered impressive results across industries:
- For Sweetgreen: nearly 200% improved ad performance and 25%+ improved cost per acquisition
- For The Black Tux: 40% cost savings and over 90% campaign lift
- For Ro Health: nearly 4x ROI and 5x engagements
- For MGM Resorts: nearly 3.5x ROI and 482,000 engagements
Growth Strategy: Doubling Down on Success
RAD Intel isn’t just adding clients—it’s deepening relationships with existing ones. Contracts for 2025 have already doubled from 2024, with expanded agreements from top clients like Hasbro and Omnicom added to the fold.
The company is also implementing a novel growth strategy called “Artificial Intelligence Buyouts” (AIBOs), which refers to acquiring small and medium-sized marketing agencies and integrating RAD Intel’s AI technology to boost their capabilities and profitability.
According to its website, the company “aims to acquire legacy marketing agencies and integrate RAD Intel’s technology to deliver material revenue synergies and operational efficiencies.” They’re targeting agencies with $5 million to $30 million in revenue that are EBITDA positive with strong recurring client bases, established sales forces and experienced client success teams.
This strategy will allow RAD Intel to scale rapidly through acquisition while bringing AI capabilities to traditional agencies—creating value for both the acquired businesses and RAD Intel investors.
Future Development: Expanding the AI Edge
The capital raised through the offering will fuel several growth initiatives:
- Further development of RAD Intel’s technology to improve paid advertising across Google, TikTok, and Meta
- Innovation of enterprise solutions with API partners like TikTok to enhance content insights
- Recruitment of top-tier talent across AI, product development, operations, and sales
- Implementation of additional self-serve features for enterprise clients
- Continuous improvement of client success rates through AI-informed performance analytics
Entrepreneur magazine recognized RAD Intel as “positioned to influence the market” in the AI revolution, noting that “the true winners in the AI revolution will be those who can effectively leverage it to solve real-world problems.”
