For You Entrepreneurs Out There!

I came across an article about billionaire (yes, billionaire with a "B") Mark Cuban. He's the owner of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks. You can find out more about this guy here:

Anyway, the article was talking about an idea he came up with that he calls the Mark Cuban Stimulus Plan - Open Source Funding. Essentially, he's looking to invest money in other businesses based on several rules that he has. Hey, it's his money, if he wants to implement some rules, you can't blame him!! Anyway, the big thing is that you have to present your idea/business plan to him via his blog or a couple other websites he refers you to. It's out in the open and others can benefit from it as well. He feels that it's small businesses and entrepreneurs that will bring us out of the crappy economy. It's very interesting. Definitely worth a read. Who knows, if you post your idea he might choose to invest in it. If so, I'll be happy to take a finder's fee!!!

Good luck to everyone out there!
