The market has shifted from big promises to measurable performance. Selective buyers, like RAD Intel, want assets that show lift fast and teams that can keep compounding. That’s the lane we run in  – and AIBO is our playbook to do it on repeat.

AIBO stands for Artificial Intelligence Buyout. We acquire brands with a built-in edge and traction, plug it into our AI driven platform for high-performance growth marketing and operational efficiency, and build out so proven plays travel across the portfolio. Plug in once. Accelerate everywhere.

Acquire what is working

We start with traction. Clear demand. Real revenue. Clean fit with how we go to market. We look for teams that know their customer, have a believable path to scale, and keep data in a usable state. What we avoid are fixer-uppers that require a rebuild before they can grow. The goal is day-one clarity on who buys, why they buy, and where the targeting, creative, and channel mix have headroom. When that is in place, time to value compresses and measurement gets clean.

Integrate into one decision layer

Integration begins week one. New brands tap into high-performance growth marketing built on shared learnings: calibrated targeting, proven creative angles, and spend pacing that reflects what already converts. Instead of starting from scratch, teams reuse what works and retire what doesn’t. 

The effect is practical. Budgets work harder. Creative lands closer to product-market fit. Reporting stops arguing with itself. Because the layer learns across brands, each campaign teaches the next without long ramp times.

Build out with compounding loops

This is where performance stacks. 

  • Targeting patterns that convert in one market become test cells in the next. 

  • Hooks that pull comments and shares move into new formats and channels. 

  • Launch timing, frequency, and spend rules roll forward as defaults that can be tuned, not reinvented. 

Founders feel the change – as there are far fewer guesses and much steadier outcomes. And teams feel it as less manual work. Finance sees it as more predictable lift. 

What this delivers for founders

You keep the identity and momentum you’ve built. We bring the decision layer, the back-office stack, and a center of Excellence for high-performance growth marketing. 

That means centralized HR, legal, finance, and security, plus reusable playbooks for targeting, creative development, and channel orchestration. It also means equity alignment. We prefer rollover and builder-led integration so founders participate in the upside they help create. The culture remains local. The compounding is portfolio wide.

Why this works now

Selective buyers want proof, not promises. Our strike team—built from top innovation shops—plugs brands into one decision layer for high-performance growth marketing, reusing what wins across the portfolio. That is how we turn week-one clarity into compounding execution.

The bottom line

AIBO turns isolated wins into portfolio momentum. Acquire what works. Integrate into one layer for high-performance growth marketing. Build out with loops that keep learning. In a market that pays for outcomes, compounding execution is the edge that endures.
