Another part of my success organizing the Event as the VP-Event for Entrepreneurship Club.

High-tech entrepreneur Bob Young to speak at UNC Kenan-Flagler March 17

Bob Young, founder and CEO of Lulu.com, will speak at the University of North Carolina’s Kenan-Flagler Business School on March 17.

Organized by the MBA Entrepreneurship Club, his talk will begin at 5:30 p.m. in UNC Kenan-Flagler’s Koury Auditorium.

Bob Young successfully turned the software industry upside down as co-founder and former CEO of Red Hat. Now he is taking on publishing industry giants with Lulu.com.

"The theme of our event is ‘Taking on the Giants’ and we could not think of a better representative from the entrepreneurial community to provide perspective given Mr. Young's rich background and boldness," said Ornpaka Vudhikosit (MBA Class of 2010). "Having successfully turned the software industry upside-down with Red Hat, he is now doing it all over again with Lulu. We believe MBA students and the public in general will be very excited to hear his viewpoints and advice on how they too can become game changers."

Young founded Lulu.com in 2002 to help creators go directly to the market and monetize their content.

In 1993, Young co-founded Red Hat, the open-source software company that gives hardware and software vendors a standard platform on which to certify their technology. Before founding Red Hat, Young spent 20 years at the helm of two computer-leasing companies that he founded. He also co-founded the Center for Public Domain, a non-profit foundation created to bolster conversations about intellectual property, patent and copyright law, and the management of the public domain for the common good.
