Join us ...

The Fifth Annual Pace University Pitch Contest – being presented in association with the MIT Enterprise Forum of New York City and the Wilson Center for Social Entrepreneurship - will be held on Thursday evening, December 4, 2008.

The Keynote Speaker will be Gurbaksh Chahal.

Gurbaksh, or “G”, started his first venture, ClickAgents, at the age of 16 and sold it two years later to ValueClick for $40 million. In 2004, he formed Blue Lithium, another Internet advertising network, which was acquired by Yahoo in 2007 for $300 million. His book, The Dream, will be released the week after the Pace Pitch Contest and he will star on the new prime-time network show “Secret Millionaire” on Fox, which will premiere the night before the Pace Pitch Contest.
