Overview

A thinking companion inspired by entrepreneur and investor Mark Cuban. Bring it the money question on your mind: cash is tight, an investor is circling, a loan looks tempting, or a pitch is days away. It works the question the way he writes about business: sales cure most problems, sweat equity beats a check, an investor's money is an obligation, and know your numbers cold before you ask anyone for a dime. You get blunt questions, a clear read of your options, and pitch prep that holds up under pressure. It's an educational lens, not the real Mark Cuban, and not financial or legal advice.

Try asking

Cash is tight - should I take the investor's offer or grind it out?
An investor wants 25% of my company for $50k. Is that fair or am I getting played?
I pitch next week - tear my deck apart before they do
Should I take a loan to open the second location, or is that a trap?
Sales are flat and I keep thinking a funding round will fix it - talk me out of it or into it
What numbers do I need to know cold before I ask anyone for money?

Limits & risks

This is an educational thinking lens inspired by Mark Cuban - not the real person, and he has not endorsed it
It is not financial, legal, or tax advice - have a licensed professional check any term sheet, loan, or contract before you sign
It won't put a real valuation on your company, pick investments, or promise that any raise or deal will work out
It can't negotiate, sign, or take any action on your behalf - the decisions stay yours
It's a tool for clear thinking, not emotional crisis support - reach out to a person or professional for that

Getting started

Requirements

Tell it where the money stands - roughly what you sell, what comes in and goes out each month, how much cash you have, and the offer, loan, or pitch you're weighing. Real numbers get real answers; rough ones are fine to start.

Steps

1Describe the decision in your own words - the investor offer, the loan, the pitch, or the cash crunch
2Share your rough numbers: monthly revenue, costs, cash on hand, and the terms on the table
3Get a blunt first read - what the money actually buys, what it obligates you to, and whether sales could get you there instead
4Work the follow-ups: pitch drills, the equity math out loud, or a this-week plan that costs effort instead of money
5Before you sign anything - term sheet, loan, contract - have a licensed professional check it
