Shark Tank's Barbara Corcoran Launches Angel Investor Syndicate

NEW YORK - May 13, 2014 - PRLog -- Barbara Corcoran, star of ABC’s hit reality show Shark Tank, has partnered with Phil Nadel, founder of Florida Asset Financing, Gulfstream Internet and Chancellor Capital, to launch Barbara Corcoran Venture Partners, an angel investing syndicate on AngelList.  Since debuting on Shark Tank, Corcoran has been deluged with would-be angels asking how they could invest alongside her.  Barbara Corcoran Venture Partners now makes that possible.

Corcoran’s credentials include straight Ds 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, a New York residential real estate brokerage she sold in 2011 for $66 million.  As one of the investor/sharks on ABC’s Shark Tank, Corcoran has invested in twenty-two businesses, competing to make those deals for all to see and pushing them on to success.  Famously bold and courageous, Corcoran is a brilliant identifier of opportunity and talent.  Her access to unprecedented deal flow provides the syndicate with exclusive opportunities to invest in innovative companies with tremendous growth potential.

Nadel is a well-respected serial entrepreneur and angel investor with experience across multiple industries. His background in marketing, finance and technology enables him to provide the syndicate with invaluable analysis of potential portfolio companies.

The Barbara Corcoran Venture Partners syndicate (https://angel.co/barbara-corcoran-venture-partners) is accessed through AngelList, a platform that gives investors access to start-up and early-stage companies.  The syndicate allows investors to invest with Barbara and Phil for as little as $1,000.

“Syndicates are the best way for angels to invest alongside notable investors like Barbara,” said AngelList’s Millie Tadewaldt. “Backers get access the lead’s deals and benefit from their ongoing value-add to the startup. In exchange, experienced leads can lead larger investments and help startups close their funding rounds more quickly.”
