>Have you ever drank a glass of black rhinoceros blood? Of course not, I was just being colloquial to start this story with an anecdote. The first time I had a glass I was in South Africa, taking a celebratory drink in Johannesburg after completing a successful hunt. You see, in South Africa they don't hunt lion, or elephant. We hunted a more dangerous game: the kaffir, or black man. I finally had a 7 year old boy cornered in an Oingo Bongo merchandise warehouse when the thoughts passed through my mind: Should I pull the trigger? Can I ever come back to who I was before this moment? I pulled the trigger, made my first 100 million dollars. Mr. Johnson, this is something you need to ask yourself: can I pull the trigger on this deal and make thr right choice? 10% funding for 85% ownership and prima nocte rights to your daughters.

>As a young child I saw my Mother relentlessly beaten by my Father. I can still recall hearing her muffled screams through the walls of my bedroom as I lay trying to fall asleep. Some nights were worse than others, but I remember the mornings my Grandmother would take me to school because my Mother couldn’t be seen in public. She would wear sunglasses and long sleeve shirts for weeks while the bruising and swelling slowly healed around her eyes and arms. I never understood how something as simple as an overcooked meal or spilt glass of wine in the living room could send my Father into these inexplicable fits of rage; not until this very moment. Not until I saw your presentation. You are the stain on my fathers Afghan rug and I see no club soda nor salt to scrub you away. For an investment of 250,000 dollars I will retain 92% of your company with a lifetime of royalties and if you even for one second glance in Lori’s direction, I will personally crucify each of your children.

What’s stopping me from just stealing your idea and “paying” chinks in a fire hazard building to push your shitty product out for pennies on the dollar?

My name is Elon Musk and I’m about to revolutionize the auto industry, first in the United States and then all over the world. My Tesla cars will drive entirely powered by batteries, with zero emissions or fossil fuels. I’m seeking $5 billion for 20% of my company.

This thread has no legs and started off bad. Every successful shark tank thread I’ve seen before has picked up its slack in the first 7 posts. And for that reason, I’m out.

What did Broadcast.com even provide in 1999 that made Cuban his fortune? Hindsight is 20/20, but honestly never even heard of it until reading up on this guy when SharkTank first aired. Is he really that amazing or just got hella lucky as a pitchman for selling his company to the geniuses (pinheads) at Yahoo?
Oliver Kelly
kevin and mark got really lucky selling nothing of value during the tech bubble
kevin ran softkey which bought up every educational video game developer with share offerings and sold it to mattell who ended up writing off over 90% of the value
when he started getting on tv in canada he had a net worth of 30 million, he made his money selling mutual funds to boomers
broadcast.com was supposed to provide live audio of college basketball, mark has made some more legitimate business with dish though

Can you imagine if google beats Elon to self driving cars. Elon will forever seem like a hack. You might being saying "well hes still got space x." No, Jeff Bezos is going to beat him to Mars.
Kevin Russell
Ohhh, so essentially "listen to radio over internet". Did you or any of your friends/family ever use it? All I remember from the dial-up days was RealNetwork
>buffering... buffering.. buffering.. [1 second audio]... buffering..
I'm guessing the patents that Broadcast.com held were likely the most valuable asset to the company.
And lol Mattell.
Jason Morgan
You made me laugh, user. And maybe you made some other anons laugh too. But the most important thing was to learn from this experience and to set yourself on a path of personal betterment.
Dominic Ross
"QVCeeeeeee!"
> Your golden ticket to the nigger market.
Even if Elon's companies ultimately fail, he at least forced other companies to try. Remember when google products from the early to mid 00's actually worked properly and didn't annoy/censor consumers?
Blake Moore
Who would you guys work with? Unironically for me it has to be Kevin. He's just too based. No matter the product, no matter the rate, no matter the royalty. I know I can trust him to keep up the bantz and blow our enemies the fuck out if necessary.

>I'm guessing the patents that Broadcast.com held were likely the most valuable asset to the company.
think how bad boomers are with technology, now think about how bad they were with it 20 years ago
>On April 1, 1999, less than 9 months after the IPO, Yahoo! announced the acquisition of broadcast.com for $5.7 billion in stock. At the time, broadcast.com had 570,000 users, and the purchase price was $10,000 per user.
they bought it with stock so it didn't really cost the company anything
>And lol Mattell.
>Mattel bought in with great enthusiasm at the top of the market in 1999 at US$3.65B, but ultimately found itself losing money with 467 software titles.[7] This acquisition was intended to broaden Mattel's product line and help Mattel sell more products that appeal to boys, but TLC began reporting unexpected losses before the deal was even completed. The deal was supposed to immediately add $50 million annually to Mattel's bottom line. The company instead lost $82.4 million in that fiscal year because

b-because what?!
James Perry
If Broadcast had a patent on streaming radio frequencies across IP with a growing user base, that's kinda big. 570,000 users in 1998 was pretty big-- think how that british granddad was "King of Youtube" in 2005 with 100k views per video. What you and I both know though (and not the "he's good with computers" investors), who's to say those 570k accounts were active.
Not defending Cuban though. The guy is the biggest generalization speaker out there. Every interview or yuppie journalism article about him is just riddled with nice sounding statements from him with no actual beef.
Christian Kelly
I don't think they had patents, it was just basic protocol they were using, they might have had an ncaa deal though
