"Fascinated by online advertising and the "concept of a click," Chahal founded ClickAgents in December 1998. Less than two years later, he sold it for $40 million. Staying hungry for growth, he started online advertising network BlueLithium in 2004. Yahoo Inc. bought it within three years for $300 million. The latest entrepreneurial venture for Chahal, now 29, is RadiumOne, a fast-growing ad network that leverages social data on the Web. "

Anyone ever meet this dude or read his book ? Any good ?
 


No, but he seems to have a successful pattern. Same company with a different name.
 
Ah. I got interested when I read that he was 16 when he convinced a programmer to build something on credit for 30k and then get 30k's worth of clients in 90 days. H.U.S.T.L.E

He landed all of those advertising clients by cold calling too.

Just ordered his book. Can't wait to read it. Still blows my mind how he did it.

He talks a lot about dealing with people both in personal life and in the corporate world that don't believe in you, think you got lucky, think you are being too risky, etc...

Something I'm sure a lot of us on this board can relate to.

Yea his story is really amazing. For him to realize the power of the web and it's advertising potential at such a young age is amazing. I'm the same age as him, when I was 16 I was just surfing for porn.

On a cool note, his family in India lived about 10 minutes where my Dad grew up.
 
I have him on fb and he's been pushing via.me lately pretty hard. It's kinda strange, clone sites rarely go big, he should have known that

We'll see I guess. It seems like a pinterest for everybody. Name sounds stupid though (anything .ly or .me is not clever) Is it his venture ?
