Sometimes, it’s just your month. On top of acquiring SeedInvest,**** StartEngine led the industry yet again in May, with a full 45% of equity dollars raised. Here’s May in review.*

The Topline

Equity crowdfunding publication KingsCrowd has released the May numbers, and funds raised under Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg. CF) reached $23.7M for the month. Meanwhile, offers under Regulation A+ (Reg. A+) accounted for another $4.2M raised, bringing the industry total for equity deals to $27.9M.*

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

How did StartEngine fare, you ask?

Between Reg. CF & Reg A+ combined, $12.6M was raised on our platform last month – close to half of the industry total.** Compared to runners up Wefunder and Republic, well, we’ll let the numbers speak for themselves…
