to work full-time at his first venture, ClickAgents. ClickAgents was an
advertising network focused on performance-based advertising. Two years
later, on November 1, 2000, ValueClick announced it agreed to buy
ClickAgents in a $40 million all-stock merger.[5] Chahal had a three year
non-compete agreement with ValueClick.
On January 12, 2004, Chahal formed BlueLithium. BlueLithium specialized in
behavioral targeting of banner advertising (a process that tracks web users'
habits online in order to show ads they are most likely to respond to).[6]
The advertising network which was recognized as an innovator in the online
advertising space in a Business 2.0 article.[7] In 2006, under Chahal's
leadership, BlueLithium was named Top Innovator by AlwaysOn.[8]

Chahal remained CEO of the company through the transition period.[9]

creating a new category of real-time advertising. On December 1, 2009, it
raised its first institutional round of financing totaling $12.5 million
from Adam Street Partners, Trinity Ventures, Stanford University and various
others.[10] On October 18, 2010, a few days after Chahal's non-compete
expired, the Company re-branded itself as RadiumOne, and launched its
Programmatic Advertising Platform that leverages first party data to deliver
real-time advertising across the web, mobile, Facebook.[11] On March 2011,
