Equity Crowdfunding by the Numbers: February 2023

Equity Crowdfunding by the Numbers: February 2023

Equity Crowdfunding by the Numbers: February 2023

Here today, gone tomorrow. The shortest month of the year has drawn to a close, and although we only had 28 to get it done, the equity crowdfunding industry posted growth (of which, StartEngine accounted for a sizable portion). Here’s February in review.

The Topline

According to KingsCrowd – think Bloomberg for online startup investing – $32.1M was invested in Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg. CF) offers in February. That’s a 50% jump MoM from January. Meanwhile, a respectable $5M was invested in Regulation A+ (Reg. A+) offers, for a combined total of $37.1M.

What’s the difference between Reg. CF & Reg A+?

How did StartEngine fare, you ask? Again, per KingsCrowd, $11M was invested on our platform between Reg. CF & Reg. A+ combined. In other words, we accounted for nearly a third of the industry total. That also makes us the pack leader for 2023 YTD.

Founders We're Celebrating (look out in your inbox)**

Equity crowdfunding is famously, well…all about the crowd. That’s why each month, we recognize founders who go above and beyond to help us grow our community – or crowd – of investors through our “Hot Off the Press” and “Crowd Pick” awards.

"Hot Off the Press" Winner February

For bringing 100 first-time investors to StartEngine within 30 days of launch.

"Crowd Pick" Winner February

**Why am I seeing these companies? Review how StartEngine promotes offerings here. These Reg CF offerings are made available through StartEngine Capital, LLC. These investments are speculative, illiquid, and involves a high degree of risk, including the possible loss of your entire investment.

February highlight: one of our top-performing offers maxed out a $5M raise in under a month.****

****Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Climbing to the Top of the Funding Ladder in February

Black Friday is far in the rearview mirror, but you wouldn’t guess it looking at the February numbers. Consumer Goods & Services companies raised a whopping $7.9M for the month – more than any other vertical. Rounding out the podium was Healthcare & Pharmaceuticals and Financial Services companies.
