Fwd: Mark Cuban to keynote LAUNCH Festival 2014
I'm super excited that Mark Cuban will be sitting down with me for a fireside chat at this year's LAUNCH Festival.
Entrepreneur, blogger, angel investor, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, the best part of ABC's Shark Tank — there are a ton of different ways to describe Mark — but our conversations are always great fun and brutally honest. And he always has interesting insights into things.
We're going to have 8,000+ participants in this year's Festival, making it the world's largest startup conference: http://festivallaunch.co
If you missed my "gift to the industry", there's still time to claim your complimentary pass. However, I expect we'll be sold-out by next week, so please register now:
