Radical Platforms, LLC

We're a group of highly motivated software engineers, product managers, and creatives developing web applications. Together in 2020 we built Exploding Chickens — a beautiful, online alternative to the Exploding Kittens card game with 1,300+ games played to date. Since then, our team has expanded and taken on even more challenges, from competing in hackathons to creating resilient full-stack web applications.

Many of our hackathons and early projects (Exploding Chickens included) served as fruitful learning experiences on the dos and don'ts of application software engineering. We've come away from those experiences with many lessons learned, and are applying them head on to the Radial Initiative — a new form of athletic events operations software.

Radial will fundamentally change how athletic events are produced through software. We are working at breakneck speed to release the first product (of three) as part of the Radial Initiative in early 2025. Our team can't wait to show you what we've been working on.

We're currently conducting extensive market research, producing athletic events ourselves, and testing experimental athletic event operations technology. In order to fully understand and be immersed in the field, we offer the following services on a one-off, contractual basis:

> Event Operations Staffing, Day Rate: Up to 12 hours of specialized labor to assist with special event operations.
> Event Operations Staffing, Overtime Hourly Rate: Once 12 hours is reached in a single day, additional specialized labor was completed at a predetermined hourly rate.

If you're a race director, operations staff, athletic event industry professional, software engineer, product manager, or creative/graphic designer and would like to contribute to the Radial Initiative, please reach out to our team at [email protected] — we'd be thrilled to work with you.
