I’ve had all sorts of wonderful people tell me that they’re super-excited about this opportunity to get to know you and to hear your story about resiliency. I should note, 2020 is kind of the poster child for resiliency, and we’re very fortunate to hear your perspective on it. But let’s kind of jump right into it, and talk a little bit about, you know, what has it meant. You’re the founder of The Corcoran Group, you’re on the Shark Tank. What has this been like for you, with COVID, and with this virus, and with working remotely? How has that gone for you? Tell us a little about your situation. BARBARA: I’d be happy to, and thanks for having me Roger, I enjoy being here. Number one, it changed everything. It changed my business, and the different pursuits that I have within the business context. It changed my personal life tremendously, and I’m sure I’m not alone on that.

  • Gender Differences in Venture Capital Funding on ABC's Shark Tank THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements
    Gender Differences in Venture Capital Funding on ABC’s Shark Tank THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with Honors Research Distinction Degree in the Max M. Fisher College of Business of The Ohio State University By Tyler Jordon Hunt Finance Specialization in Business Administration The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Patricia West Ralph Greco Copyrighted by Tyler Jordon Hunt 2016 Abstract ABC Network’s reality television show “Shark Tank” gives entrepreneurs the opportunity to pitch their ideas to a panel of investors for the chance to receive funding. Each season more than 35,000 entrepreneurs apply to be on the show. Whether they receive an offer for funding or not, they still stand to gain the free advertising that comes with appearing on a show with more than seven million average viewers per episode. Although there are abundant resources for knowledge on Shark Tank, women in venture capital, and behavioral gender differences, sources are lacking on gender differences in venture capital funding on Shark Tank. The purpose of this research is to determine if differences exist in how entrepreneurs receive funding based on their gender. To analyze this, I utilized two publicly available datasets containing information on the pitches aired on the show. These datasets were cleansed and merged to form one data set with thirty- five variables spanning across four seasons and 235 pitches. I found that despite having comparable or better businesses than their male counterparts, women ask for lower valuations and accept deals at a lesser percentage of what they asked for compared to men.

Recently, brand extensions and co-branding strategies have been rediscovered as income sources. A prominent example of such a strategy is the TV format Dragons’ Den, which has been locally produced in many different countries. We use this intriguing case to explore the extensive and intricate co-branding relationships and brand extensions in the business-to-consumer and the business-to-business settings of TV companies. Our paper analyses global adaptations and cultural branding of Dragons’Den; in particular, brand extensions and co-branding strategies. Keywords: business practices, international TV formats, co-branding, brand extensions, cultural branding, finance, localisation, celebrity entrepreneur In times of ever-increasing information and entertainment choice across a growing number of media platforms, being noticed by audiences is increasingly important and difficult. Being able to offer a brand that adds emotional and value-driven attributes to a media product helps advertisers attract audiences and stand out from the mass of media products offered.1 Furthermore, having a recognizable brand among one’s product portfolio may help to garner advertising revenues from export or licensing agreements.2 1 Sabine Baumann, ‘Media Branding from an Organizational and Management-Centered Perspective’, in Gabriele Siegert et al., eds., Handbook of Media Branding, 2015, pp.

  • Barbara Corcoran
    BARBARA CORCORAN Barbara Corcoran’s credentials include straight D’s in high school and college and twenty jobs by the time she turned twenty-three. It was her next job that would make her one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the country when she took a $1,000 loan to start The Corcoran Group. She parlayed the loan into a five- billion-dollar real estate business and sold it in 2001 for $70 million. She has also heavily invested in income-producing property in the New York City area. Barbara is the real estate contributor for NBC’s TODAY Show where she comments weekly on trends in the real estate market. Barbara is an investor/shark on ABC’s reality hit Shark Tank. In the first season, Barbara bought eight young businesses which she has shepherded to success. Barbara is the author of Use What You’ve Got, an entertaining business book that has become a national best-seller, as well as Nextville, Amazing Places to Live Your Life. As a speaker, Barbara brings her front-line experience and infectious energy to every group she addresses. Motivational, inspirational, and sometimes outrageous, Barbara Corcoran’s tell-it-like-it-is attitude is a refreshing approach to success. Speech Topics How I Got Here How do you turn a $1,000 loan into a five-billion dollar business? According to self-made real estate empress Barbara Corcoran, you do it by learning how to fail well. Barbara tells the story of how, armed with a loan from her boyfriend and her own gritty determination, she quit her job as a waitress to start a tiny real estate company in New York City and turned that company into a multi-billion dollar business.

  • Shark Tank” Contributor Barbara Corcoran to Speak at the SAGE Show Next Month
    Contact: Bille Jo Walchek Director of Marketing SAGE 214.631.6000 x4539 [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BARBARA CORCORAN TO SPEAK AT SAGE SHOW ABC’s “Shark Tank” contributor Barbara Corcoran to speak at the SAGE Show next month. Addison, TX (January 25, 2013) – Barbara Corcoran, a real-estate mogul who is also one of five “shark” investors on ABC’s “Shark Tank,” has been tapped as the SAGE Show’s keynote speaker. She will share her experiences as one of America’s most successful businesswomen and entrepreneurs on the show’s opening day of exhibits—Wednesday, February 27, 2013 from 9:00am – 10:00 am at the Fort Worth Convention Center in Fort Worth, Texas. The session is free to all promotional products distributors and suppliers. Corcoran started New York-based real estate company The Corcoran Group in the 1970s and grew it with an initial investment of $1,000 before selling it for $70 million. Today, she’s one of the country’s most successful entrepreneurs, a syndicated columnist, investor, speaker, business consultant and author of three books including Shark Tales: How I turned $1,000 into a Billion Dollar Business . David Natinsky, SAGE’s President, commented, “We are really excited to have Barbara Corcoran as the Keynote Speaker for the 2013 SAGE Show. She isn’t just another celebrity speaker who lacks real substance that you too often see at events these days. Rather, Barbara is a proven entrepreneur and businesswoman with a really interesting story. Given that distributors and suppliers in our industry are mostly entrepreneurs themselves, everyone who attends will be able to relate to Barbara’s story and message and should walk away with something to help make their business better.” The inaugural SAGE Show, which replaces the long-running MAPPS by SAGE Show usually held in August, also features a full education day on Tuesday, February 26 th , with programming designed by PPAI from 9:00am – 3:00pm and the SAGE Conference from 10:00am – 4:45pm.
