Mark Cuban
Entrepreneur
Since selling garbage bags door to door at the age of 12, Mark Cuban has been a natural businessman. After graduating from Indiana University, Mark created MicroSolutions, a computer consulting service that he would sell to MicroSolutions in 1990. In 1995, Mark and friend Todd Wagner came up with an internet based solution to not being able to listen to Indiana Hoosiers basketball games. That solution was Broadcast.com, a business that would be sold to Yahoo for $5.6 billion dollars in 1999.
Mark bought the Dallas Mavericks in 2000. The Mavs were NBA World Champions in 2011 and are currently listed as one of Forbes’ most valuable sports franchises in sports. In recent years, Mark has become a star on the hit television show, Shark Tank. He’s an investor in an ever-growing portfolio of small businesses and he’s the best-selling author of How to Win at the Sport of Business.
Mark holds multiple patents, including a VR solution for vestibular-induced dizziness, and a method for counting objects on the ground from a drone. Quick to call out unscrupulous business practices, Mark established Sharesleuth, a research and investigation website to uncover fraud in financial markets.
Mark gives back to the communities that promoted his success through The Mark Cuban Foundation. The Foundation’s AI Bootcamps Initiative hosts free Introduction to AI Bootcamps for low-income high schoolers, starting in Dallas.
