“We have trained multiple generations of entrepreneurs so that if someone can come from Iowa or Sacramento or anywhere else and show up on the carpet of shark tank and showing your business and getting a deal will inspire generations of kids,” said the founder of Cost Plus Drugs.
Cuban also shared how he pays close attention to body language and looks for ideas he wishes he had thought of when deciding what to invest in on the show.
“When someone comes in shark tank, you can tell if they are trying too hard,” he said. “I have this rule: the longer the backstory, the worse the deal.”
