Doug Pak, founder and CEO of BLD Ventures, spoke this December with established and burgeoning entrepreneurs at GifterX Talks, known colloquially as “TED Talks For Entrepreneurs,” about navigating milestones in a growing company, the origins of his career, and projects on the horizon. Other speakers at the event included TED founder Richard Saul Wurman and Mission Matters co-founder Adam Torres as well as entrepreneurs Rod Moore, Colten Anderson, and Brooke Sousa.
GifterX founder Christopher Kai said, “Over the last 20 years as a Fortune 100 global speaker, I’ve met many global executives. Doug Pak is in a class of his own because he understands true leadership is all about service to others. When you have someone like Doug in your corner, he’s persistent, consistent, and supportive.” Sharing the stage with Pak, Kai called his longtime associate a “phenomenal speaker.” The BLD Ventures CEO then spoke with the crowd about the importance of constant education and adaptation when managing a $200 million company.

“Whether you’re hiring people, raising capital, growing, talking to landlords, or buying property, whatever it is, you’re always telling a story,” Pak said. “For my next chapter, a lot of people have been telling me I need to write a book; that’s something I’m working on for next year.”
