I have heard Rahul give this presentation live a few times. It is a classic story of a young guy starting a company doing what interested him. The company morphed into making high end PCs for gaming while the rest of the industry was focused on driving the price of PCs down.

The company has been profitable since day one. Typical of his business acumen, he bought a heritage home near downtown Calgary for $700,00o and sold it for $1,000,000 in 2005. He and his co-workers changed the focus of the company because they loved playing online interactive games but were annoyed at the performance of existing machines. They cut $1,000,000 in revenue in unrelated work (hosting and networking) in order to build a brand that focused on high end performance PCs.

His keys to success: focus on the customer and build excellent quality products. Sounds simple but Rahul had the perseverance, energy and smarts to execute this game plan.

Have a look at the latest PC from Voodoo, called Firebird.

Great story. Excellent entrepreneur.
