Starts Micro Solutions

Founding0 Comments

Cuban starts a company called Micro Solutions, working as a PC consultant selling software, training and configuring computers. One day he needed a part and went to PCs Limited which was run by someone younger than him.

 I was really impressed by him. I remember telling him, “Dude, I think we’re both going places.” That “dude” was Michael Dell.

That year he got Micro Solutions into local-area networks, hooking up small to medium business sizes so they could share information. The company grows to $30 Million in revenues.
