Readers of the app get access to multiple genres from romance, sci-fi, thrillers, LGBT topics, fantasy, mystery, teen etc. The content is served in an episodic method, where a story is told in installments just like a TV series. Radish’s authors write an episode and get feedback for each one. This way the writers can improvise on their writing and readers can get better content.

Stories are presented in installments, the user can make micro-payments by buying coins on the app. for as much of the content, they want to read. The reader can buy coins as per episode they want to access. The revenue generated through users is divided between the author and the startup.

Officially launched in 2016, the Radish app. has had astounding success in East Asia particularly China and Japan.  The startup is now trying to establish itself in the West. Radish recently announced the launch of Radish Originals in the USA, a foray into producing in-house serialized stories. The startup has hired 6 of television’s most celebrated Emmy Award-winning soap opera writers to pen original stories for the platform.

The startup has strong backing from Silicon Valley investors that include Greylock, Lowercase, Softbank, UTA, Bertelsmann, and Sherpa Capital. Radish has also been supported by individual investors including bestselling author Amy Tan, ITV Chairman Sir Peter Bazalgette; Charlie Songhurst, former head of corporate strategy at Microsoft; and billionaire investor Nicolas Berggruen.
