Rahul Sood started his first company when he was just 17 years old. VoodooPC went on to sell to HP in 2006, where he spent four years as their CTO. Rahul then spent a few years at Microsoft, where he says he “learned everything and got a crash course in how the best leaders are created.” In 2014, he started his current company, Unikrn, an esports betting and news company that’s backed by big names like Ashton Kutcher, Mark Cuban, Elisabeth Murdoch, Shari Redstone and many others. Unikrn has received over 10 million in funding and is on the front lines of regulation in its industry. Rahul shares many valuable lessons he’s learned through his first company’s acquisition and going to work at a large company after never working for anyone but himself. He also talks about the one pager exercise that changed his life, his involvement in the medical industry after his dad’s passing, and his admiration for Elon Musk and Tesla. His “you can reach out to anyone” mentality is a lesson you will want to take with you.
