Successful entrepreneurs have a special sense of identifying needs in the market and providing just perfect-fitting solutions for them. And really successful entrepreneurs never cease to amaze by venturing into multiple businesses and always staying one step ahead of the competition with a leader\u2019s mindset. We\u2019re honoured to have one of these representatives at this edition of Techsylvania, an American entrepreneur, who\u2019s one of the most prosperous in the world \u2014 Mark Cuban!<\/p>\n

Mark started building on his business empire at the very young age of 12, when he was sharpening his entrepreneurial skills by selling garbage bags from door to door. One of his early ventures into the business world was co-founding Broadcast.com, the leading provider of multimedia and streaming on the Internet. Broadcast.com was sold to Yahoo! Inc. in July, 1999 for a staggering $5.6 billion.<\/p>\n

Entering the second millennium triumphantly, one of the first steps he made was to purchase the NBA team Dallas Mavericks on January 4 2000. Mark Cuban has become well-known as a prominent voice in the American business landscape with his team and proudly declares himself a\u00a0Maverick<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In 2005, Cuban invested in Brondell Inc., a San Francisco startup making a high-tech toilet seat called a Swash that works like a bidet but mounts on a standard toilet. \u201cPeople tend to approach technology the same way, whether it\u2019s in front of them, or behind them\u201d, Cuban joked.<\/p>\n

A few businesses later, Mark decided to inspire the world with his thriving example and maybe lend some of his skills to future generations, and therefore he wrote \u201cHow to win at the sports of business\u201d, a title that couldn\u2019t have described him better.<\/p>\n

Today, among his multiple pursuits, he stands out as a TV star on the popular show \u2014 Shark Tank, where he showcases his investor skills. Since starting in season two in 2011, Mark has invested in 85 deals across 111 Shark Tank episodes, for a total of $19.9 million invested. The actual numbers vary because the investment happens after the handshake deal on live television after the due diligence is performed to ensure the accuracy of the information presented in the pitch room.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

We\u2019re proud to have one of the savviest businessmen in the world at Techsylvania 2020 and can\u2019t wait to get inspired!<\/p>\n

He will be interviewed by The Most Feared and Well-Liked Journalist in Silicon Valley, Kara Swisher, Co-Founder of tech & media publication Recode. They will have a thought-provoking conversation on\u00a0Entrepreneurship as a Driving Force for Growing the Global Economy<\/em>.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re at least as excited as us, use the code\u00a0IWantToSeeMARKCUBAN<\/strong>, when purchasing a Builder Ticket, and ta-da, a free invitation is on us!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
