ONAR Holding Corporation Closes Acquisition of Retina AI; Follows Rapid Closing of JUICE to Accelerate AI-Driven Growth

Miami, FL , Sept. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ONAR Holding Corporation (OTCQB: ONAR), an AI-powered marketing technology company and growing agency network, today announced it has closed the acquisition of Retina AI, an AI-powered marketing intelligence platform known for early, individual-level customer lifetime value (CLV) prediction. The Retina transaction was structured as an all-stock, 100% preferred share deal and provides ONAR with Retina’s assets. This closing comes on the heels of ONAR’s recent closing of the JUICE acquisition, adding a top-ranked performance agency to the network, doubling revenue, and creating immediate cross-sell motion between JUICE’s client base and Retina’s.

Retina, which previously achieved annual recurring revenue exceeding $2 million, brings sophisticated deep-learning CLV and ROI modeling into ONAR’s technology stack. ONAR expects to recapture a substantial portion of Retina’s historical ARR by (i) integrating Retina’s models across ONAR’s existing agency clients, including JUICE’s enterprise roster, and (ii) re-engaging historical Retina customers through targeted outreach.

“Back-to-back closings of JUICE and Retina AI meaningfully advance our strategy,” said Claude Zdanow, CEO of ONAR. “We’re combining a top-tier performance engine with predictive CLV intelligence—and we did it in a capital-efficient way. That combination gives us immediate cross-sell opportunities, clearer visibility on ROI for clients, and momentum to scale revenue.”

"We're grateful to see Retina AI's mission continue as part of ONAR,” stated Brad Ito, CTO and Co-Founder of Retina. “ONAR's commitment to delivering meaningful client value through data and AI technology aligns with our vision, and we look forward to new synergies from this acquisition."

Strategic Benefits:

• High-Quality Assets at a Great Value – ONAR acquired Retina under favorable terms during its capital inflection point, translating into a cost-efficient acceleration of AI capabilities.
  
  
• Scalable Revenue Streams – ONAR gains not only technology but also a line of sight on recapturing recurring revenue and rich cross-sell potential.
  
  
• Deep Integration – As all ONAR clients are fit for Retina’s offerings, the Company anticipates rapid adoption and synergies across its network.
