History
In 2007, RadiumOne’s founder, Gurbaksh Chahal sold his second company, Blue Lithium to Yahoo! for $300 million and a three-year non-compete agreement. In September 2009 Chahal began his next business venture, gWallet, a social media monetization provider. In December 2009, Chahal’s new business venture raised its first institutional round of financing, which totaled at $12.5 million from Adam Street Partners, Trinity Ventures, Stanford University and several others investors.
On October 18, 2010, the Monday after the terms of Yahoo!’s non-compete agreement expired, Chahal announced the founding of RadiumOne. RadiumOne absorbed gWallet and expanded its efforts into programmatic advertising.
