Radish Fiction is a platform that offers a plethora of stories at the fingertips of its readers. Launched in February 2015, Radish operates as a modern-day Netflix for serialized content, presenting premium serialized stories in bite-sized episodes designed for quick consumption on smartphones. The platform utilizes a freemium model, providing readers with 3 free chapters before requiring mobile micropayments for subsequent episodes, enabling instant gratification after compelling cliffhangers. Pioneering the revival of the Victorian serialized novel concept in a digital format, Radish has attained significant recognition, having been featured in esteemed publications such as the New York Times, Publishers Weekly, Variety, Hollywood Reporter, Techcrunch, Fast Company, and Forbes. The company has garnered substantial support from prominent entities in Silicon Valley, Hollywood, and the publishing industry. Notably, it has secured $5 million in seed financing, with financial backing from reputable firms including Greylock, Lowercase Partners, Softbank Next Media Innovation Fund, UTA, Bertelsmann Digital Media Investments (BDMI), and Sherpa Capital. Furthermore, individual investors such as bestselling author Amy Tan, Sir Peter Bazalgette, Charlie Songhurst, Nicolas Berggruen, Matt Humphrey, Duncan Clark, and Jeremy Yap have also contributed to the company's growth. Additionally, Ankur Jain, VP of Product at Tinder, holds a position on the board. Radish Fiction's most recent milestone involved a significant $63.20M Series A investment on 04 August 2020, with participation from Mirae Asset Venture Investment, Partners Investment, Daekyo Investment, Kakao Page, Mirae Asset Capital, and SBVA. This infusion of capital underscores the strong investor confidence in the company's innovative approach to content consumption and signifies potential for significant growth and impact within the publishing industry.
