Mark Cuban grew up in Pittsburgh and first hustled by selling garbage bags as a kid. He later co-founded Broadcast.com in the 1990s and sold it to Yahoo for $5.7B during the dot-com boom. Through that windfall, he purchased the Dallas Mavericks, eventually guiding them to an NBA championship. Cuban became a household name as a cast member on Shark Tank, investing in dozens of startups. More recently, he launched Cost Plus Drugs — a venture aimed at disrupting pharmaceutical pricing. His trajectory from modest beginnings to high-stakes dealmaker is a testament to ambition, risk-taking, and reinvention.
Ryan Holmes is a Canadian tech entrepreneur, investor and founder of Hootsuite.com, the world's leading social media management platform. He grew up on a farm in Vernon, BC (with no electricity), founded a paintball business and a pizza restaurant, before he spun out Hootsuite, now a go-to social media management platform used by millions, and also founded the charity League of Innovators, Canada's largest accelerator for founders under the age of 30 with 2,000+ alumni and $1B+ of enterprise value created. He’s also a writer, investor, and big on creating ecosystems, not just products.
