Mr. Gilbert brings a wealth of knowledge and depth of experience beyond his success as an Internet entrepreneur. As an undergraduate in the late 60's, Mr. Gilbert pursued multiple majors in mathematics, economics and computer science settling into the development of an MIS Framework as his graduate thesis topic at MIT's Sloan School of Management

During that period he worked extensively in the fledging field of entrepreneurial studies and helped form the Institute for New Enterprise Development (INED).
