We need more groups like this in Dallas too. It's very difficult finding people who are truly interested in consumer facing internet. Lots of talk here about reviving it as a cool place for the startup community, but not a lot of support to back it up. As is the case in NYC, there just don't seem to be a lot of cashed out entrepreneurs here in our space. Very smart people, but few who would have invested in Facebook or Youtube.

I look forward to hearing stories about people who get funded by this guy/group.

Have you tried emailing Cuban?

I have been contemplating. I hate to cold-contact people. Don't hear many success stories coming from this method. I might give it a shot though. Any suggestions on how to go about it? I know he can be reached through blogmaverick.

Well I think he encourages people to email him, just google for mark cuban's email address. He gave an interview recently saying he likes it when people email him a small quick summary of what they are doing, why its big, what they need, and why cuban can help them

He reads all of his emails I think, he responded nicely to one of my friend's emails complaining about a post blocking the view from some mavs seats he bought.

Not saying you should expect anything, its a super super long shot, but its worth a shot, obviously he is interested in customer facing internet and might at least give you advice.
