Barbara Corcoran

Real estate mogul and business expert

Barbara Corcoran’s journey to success includes straight D’s in high school and college and holding twenty jobs by the time she turned twenty-three. It was her next job, however, that set her on a path to becoming one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the country. She took a $1,000 loan to start The Corcoran Group, which would become one of the leading real estate firms in the U.S.

As a prominent “Shark” on ABC’s hit TV show Shark Tank, Barbara has invested her own money in over a dozen businesses, competing to secure deals and then guiding them to success.

Her latest book, Shark Tales, offers readers an insider look at her life, business, and her bold approach to venture capitalism. Known for her brash, blunt style and her keen ability to spot opportunities and talent (often overlooked by others), Barbara’s approach is as fearless as it is effective.

In her presentations, Barbara shares her best advice on starting, growing, and scaling businesses, investing in ventures, and turning ideas and dreams into lasting fortunes.
