About Nicepipes' journey on Shark Tank:

Shark Tank's Nicepipes's episode saw Lisa making an appearance on the show in the year 2016. Binderow, who just had a net worth of 80,000 USD at the time, valuated the business at a total of $1 million. The panel of angel investors on the show was quick to point out the overly-inflated valuation of the business. The observations were followed by Kevin O’ Leary's comment that there was essentially nothing that could be classified as unique about the product that was being sold by Nicepipes, the opinion which was then shortly echoed by Robert Herjavec. However, one Shark in particular, Lora Greiner, took a liking towards the brand but didn’t think it was worth an investment. Barbara Corcoran, the last of the Sharks to share her two cents on the matter at hand back then, offered a total of $100,000 in exchange for 40% equity and on the condition that Lisa should not keep more than 25 per cent equity on her. Barbara's offer, suggestions, and conditions did not truly appeal to Lisa, who then let go of the investment opportunity.
