Pipsnacks (Pipcorn) Shark Tank update: is it still in business?

Pipsnacks was started in 2012 by Brooklyn siblings Jeff and Jen Martin. Its main product is Pipcorn, a popcorn made from heirloom corn with very small kernels. They pitched in Season 6, in an episode that aired November 14, 2014, and asked for $200,000 for 10%, a $2 million valuation, according to SUCCESS. Both Barbara Corcoran and Robert Herjavec offered to meet their price. The siblings chose Corcoran. Business Insider reported that the deal was finalized that November: $200,000 for 10%, plus a 10% draw whenever the founders took money out of the company, until Corcoran earned back her investment. Corcoran told Business Insider that Pipsnacks was her favorite Shark Tank investment. SUCCESS reported that annual sales grew from under $200,000 to more than $3 million in 2015. The company has changed hands since then. In October 2024, a Business Wire release announced that Pipcorn was being combined with the snack brand Spudsy under a new company, UpSnack Brands, and Nosh covered the deal. In October 2025, Pipcorn rebranded as Pip's Heirloom Snacks, according to Business Wire and Food Business News. Is Pipcorn still in business? Yes, under the Pip's Heirloom Snacks name. On October 14, 2026, pipsnacks.com was live, and the Pipcorn store on Amazon had listings.
