Mark Cuban's got his own bailout plan (and you can get in on it!)

He's known for bold moves. He's known for spending a lot of money.
So is it any surprise billionaire owner of the Dallas Mavericks, Mark Cuban,
has his own bailout plan?
He calls is "open source funding."
And the best part: you can get in on it!
Mark Cuban says on his blog that he wants to "come up with a course of action
that I can undertake on my own that possibly, somehow could make a
difference."
Cuban writes the following:
"I’m a big believer that entrepreneurs will lead us out of this mess."
"You must post your business plan here on my blog where I expect other people
can and will comment on it. I also expect that other people will steal the
idea and use it elsewhere. That is the idea. Call this an open source funding
environment."
"I will invest money in businesses presented here on this blog. No minimum,
no maximum, but a very specific set of rules."
Here are the rules that Cuban lays out:
It can be an existing business or a start up.
It cannot be a business that generates any revenue from advertising. Why ?
Because I want this to be a business where you sell something and get paid
for it. Thats the only way to get and stay profitable in such a short period
of time.
It must be cash-flow break even within 60 days
It must be profitable within 90 days.
Funding will be on a monthly basis. If you dont make your numbers, the
funding stops
You must demonstrate as part of your plan that you sell your product or
service for more than what it costs you to produce, fully encumbered
Everyone must work. The organization is completely flat. There are no
employees reporting to managers. There is the founder/owners and everyone else
You must post your business plan here [on his blog], or you can post it on
slideshare.com , scribd.com or google docs, all completely public for anyone
to see and/or download
I make no promises that if your business is profitable, that I will invest
more money. Once you get the initial funding you are on your own
I will make no promises that I will be available to offer help. If I want to
, I will. If not, I won't.
If you do get money, it goes into a bank that I specify, and I have the
ability to watch the funds flow and the opportunity to require that I cosign
any outflows.
In your business plan , make sure to specify how much equity I will receive
or how I will get a return on my money.

"Hopefully I will invest in quite a few businesses that will lead to
something more," Cuban concludes.
