Built the Corcoran Group, a NYC residential real-estate brokerage she started with a $1,000 loan and sold to NRT for $66M in 2001.
- When
- Deal agreed on air with Corcoran and Mark Cuban jointly. Corcoran lists Curie in her own portfolio, so her side closed; the investment amount has not been disclosed in reputable reporting.
- Why
- A founder who had already iterated the formula five times off customer feedback before pitching.
- Status
- Operating and in national retail. BeautyMatter describes it as an eight-figure brand that grew roughly tenfold after the show. Reports that Cuban dropped out post-filming come from secondary coverage we could not confirm with a named outlet.
