Backed by multiple institutional funds and venture investors, selected by the Adobe Design Fund, supported by early operators from Google, Meta, and Amazon. 20,000+ investors aligned. NASDAQ ticker reserved: $RADI.

👉 This round is 90% allocated. April 30 is the final day to act to get the $0.91/share.
