VoodooPC founder Rahul Sood resigns from Microsoft to start his own company

Rahul Sood, the high-profile founder of VoodooPC and more recently the general manager of Microsoft Ventures, has resigned to start his own company dubbed Unikrn.

Sood founded VoodooPC as a boutique seller of custom-made gaming computers. The company established itself as an elite brand, and it was able to sell its hand-painted PCs for thousands of dollars. He sold that company to Hewlett-Packard, which then expanded its gamer PC lineup.
