NEWSFLASH: Announcing a new era for StartEngine. It’s official – we’ve agreed to acquire SeedInvest.* By joining forces with a fellow equity crowdfunding giant, we’re poised to become one of the largest platforms in the game.

Reg. A+ offering made available through StartEngine Crowdfunding, Inc.  No broker-dealer or intermediary involved in offering. 10,000 shares of this offering may be purchased on behalf of certain eligible investors as part of a promotion.


 

 

Reasons to Invest



  • Raising through the crowd: StartEngine has raised its last five funding rounds exclusively through the crowd. That’s over $65M to date from 37,000+ investors.
  • Proven leadership: StartEngine CEO Howard Marks co-founded Activision in 1991, which sold to Microsoft for nearly $68B in 2021.
  • Shark Tank judge Kevin O’Leary: Mr. Wonderful himself joined StartEngine as an investor, Strategic Advisor, and paid spokesperson, in an effort to “change the face of retails investing” – his words.
  • 6x Revenue Growth: StartEngine was inducted into Inc. Magazine’s 2022 list of the 5,000 fastest growing companies in the U.S. Per the publication, we recorded 6x revenue growth from 2019-2021*.
  • Leading the Industry: Over $650 million has been invested on StartEngine through its funding portal and broker dealer, including for StartEngine itself. That makes us one of the leading equity crowdfunding sites in the U.S. in terms of funds raised for Reg. CF and Reg. A+ offerings.
  • Collectibles & Alternative Assets: On StartEngine, anyone can invest in collectible assets like trading cards, comics, rare art, watches, and fine wine. We aim to unlock a nearly $14 trillion asset class for the public.  
  • Trading: On StartEngine Secondary, investors can trade startup investments and alternative assets from StartEngine Collectibles. It’s also one of the first platforms where you can trade Reg A and Reg CF offers in the US (see disclosures below)**.

















Don’t forget, you can earn as much as 20% bonus shares: StartEngine Owner’s Bonus Members can earn up to 20% bonus shares of StartEngine when they invest. Click “Invest Now” to find out how you can qualify.


*Historic performance is not indicative of future results. Though 2022 is not yet fully actuated, the company’s most recent financials for the year can be found here.


**Even if a company has quoted its securities on StartEngine Secondary, there is no guarantee an active trading market for the securities will ever develop, or if developed, be maintained. You should assume that you may not be able to liquidate your investment for some time, if at all, or be able to pledge these shares as collateral.


 

The Team. The Mission. The Industry.

We have raised over $65M from everyday investors and have over 37,000 shareholders on our cap table. We believe we’ve laid the foundation for future success with the historic track record of our leaders, the growth we have achieved thus far, and the potential of the industry we are in.


Leadership Track Record: Both our CEO, Howard Marks, and our strategic advisor and investor, Kevin O’Leary, are not strangers to billion-dollar companies.


Howard co-founded the video giant Activision, which recently became acquired by Microsoft for nearly $68 billion. Howard also founded and sold Acclaim Games in the early 2000s to Playdom, which would subsequently sell to Disney. 


Turning his sights to helping other founders, Howard has built StartEngine into one of the largest equity crowdfunding platforms in the US based on the total amount raised, raising through Regulation Crowdfunding and Regulation A+ via its funding portal and broker-dealer subsidiaries.



Kevin founded SoftKey, a computer software company, which led to a $4 billion exit.


Since then, he has gone on to invest in multiple businesses, is an investor and judge on Shark Tank, and serves as Chairman of O’Shares ETFs, which provides investment solutions in the form of exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Having grown to nearly $1.5 billion in assets under management, it was recently announced that O’Shares ETFs would be sold to SS&C Technologies.


We believe that Kevin’s extensive finance knowledge, track record with innovative technology, and passion for alternative assets like art, as well as crypto, make him a huge asset for StartEngine.


We believe that the track records of Howard and Kevin, along with the rest of our leaders when it comes to business development, asset growth, and the ability to create exit strategies, will help StartEngine continue to succeed.



Continued Growth & Goals:


2022 has been chock full of milestones: We entered the Inc. 5000. We also signed an exclusive deal with fellow crowdfunding giant Indiegogo to start introducing its enormous community of 800k+ founders and over 11M users to equity crowdfunding. To top it all off, we’ve rapidly grown our investor community to nearly 1 million users, and hired some of the industry's top talent. 


3PRELIMINARY UNAUDITED INTERNAL INFORMATION; FINAL DATA MAY VARY SIGNIFICANTLY. TOTAL RAISED INCLUDES STARTENGINE’S OWN RAISES AND IS INCLUSIVE OF INVESTMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN CLOSED ON AND INVESTMENTS THAT ARE RECEIVED BUT NOT YET CLOSED ON. 1


Looking to the future, StartEngine is actively pursuing avenues for new growth. Not only does our startup investing division remain robust, but in 2021 we launched StartEngine Collectibles. Through StartEngine Collectibles, our investors can access alternative assets like trading cards, comic books, art, and even fine wine. This is a nearly $14 trillion industry and we believe it’s integral to our future growth. 


We also continue to grow StartEngine Secondary, our trading platform for assets invested in through StartEngine.


See disclaimers [1] and [3] at bottom of page


2029: Goal of $10 billion total raised for companies


In 2021 alone, we raised over $252M for companies, with revenues of $25.75M through the end of November.3 Our mission is to raise a total of $10 billion by 2029 for companies on our platform.


Fintech Potential


The Fintech industry has become a big piece of the modern economy. The global fintech market was $127.66 billion in 2018, and is estimated to reach roughly $309.98 billion by the end of 2022. The equity crowdfunding market itself was estimated at $12.27 billion in 2021, with expectations for that figure to double by 2027, giving the industry a compound annual growth rate of 11%.





It’s Your Turn to be a Shark

StartEngine's Vision

Leading an Industry

StartEngine is one of the leading equity crowdfunding platforms in the United States, with over half a billion invested on our platform (Inclusive of StartEngine’s own raise 1. Our vision is to disrupt private equity and bring these asset classes directly to everyday investors. The expansion into a broader range of alternative assets is one of the ways we intend to continue leading the industry. The securitization of shares in alternatives means crowdfunding can give investors access to a broad range of opportunities that were previously generally reserved for the ultra-wealthy.




StartEngine Secondary: Providing the Potential of Liquidity for Private Investments

 

Historically, there is no generally accepted place to trade startup investments. To see a return on your investment, you’d usually  have to wait until the company paid dividends, was acquired or if the company IPO’d and went public. Those processes could often take anywhere from 5 to 10 years, if ever.

 

We launched our investor trading marketplace StartEngine Secondary so that users can not only invest in companies on StartEngine, but also have the opportunity to trade with other investors. With this marketplace, we’ve created one of the first trading platforms in the US for securities sold through Regulation A+ and Regulation Crowdfunding offerings.


 

StartEngine itself was the first company to trade its shares on StartEngine Secondary, and since its launch, over $1.4M worth of shares have been traded between 1,200 investors. Now, several companies have been on the platform, and StartEngine has begun adding the collections sold through StartEngine Collectibles. One of our first wine collections recently began trading, and long-term investors will be able to buy and sell shares in wine collections, art, sports cards, and much more.

 

We believe our trading platform will unlock StartEngine’s full potential.


It is important to know that while companies may trade on StartEngine’s alternative trading system, StartEngine Secondary, companies which intend to trade on the marketplace are subject to certain requirements which they may or may not be able to satisfy in a timely manner. Even if a company qualifies to trade, there is no guarantee an active trading market for the securities will ever develop, or if developed, be maintained. Further, any company which does trade may also request to be removed from the marketplace.  You should assume that you may not be able to liquidate your investment for some time or be able to pledge these shares as collateral.

What's Changed Between Our Last Offering and Now?


We raised over $29.4M in our last Regulation A+ offering, which closed in December 2021. Since then, we’ve been expanding our lineup of alternative assets, the number of companies raising on our platform, and have achieved some of our best unaudited financials thus far. Since we filed our last funding round, StartEngine has seen significant growth: 

  • We expanded our team to over 100+ employees, including a Head of Product Design, Director of Data Analytics, and additions to our engineering, compliance, and customer service teams.
  • Surpassed half a billion in total capital raised through our platform
  • In 2021 we achieved revenues of  $25.75M3 through November of 2021. Our highest revenue thus far.
  • Nearly doubled our user base from approximately  400k to 760k. 2

We believe the funds we raise in this round will help us tackle a few key initiatives that will drive our growth. Objectives include: growing and improving our secondary marketplace, hiring more top talent, and bringing new alternative assets and investment opportunities to our community.

Sneak Peak: New Invest Pages on StartEngine

Obsessed. It’s how we feel about making StartEngine best-in-class. It’s also why we’re asking for your feedback on our new checkout page.

Last week, we launched an A/B test aimed at simplifying checkout for investors and making it easier to understand the perks you earn with your investment.

The results so far: We’ve only deployed the test to 1 out of 4 users. But among the test group we’ve seen a 25% increase in investment size compared to our platform average. Why? Simple – more transparency is just good business.

Join the discussion. Share your thoughts about our new checkout page in the comments below. How do I access the checkout page, you ask? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered…

For a sneak peak of the new checkout page on other offerings, simply add the text “#new-flow” to the end of the URL at checkout.

New Report: VC Funds Decline 63% YoY

Last week, Crunchbase found that VC funding fell 63% YoY in February leaving a massive gap – even as StartEngine grew for a third consecutive month.

As Howard noted this summer, the drawdown in funding can create a “perfect storm” for equity crowdfunding to fill the gap.

An unprecedented competitive environment. According to the report, total funding from venture firms dipped below $20 billion in a single month for the first time since 2020. 

The news comes as headlines of SVB’s sudden collapse have roiled the venture industry; meanwhile, StartEngine is looking to consolidate its position as the equity crowdfunding industry leader through our acquisition of SeedInvest.*

This is our moment, right now – and you can join us.

Back-to-Back-to-Back: StartEngine Records 3 Straight Months of Investment Growth

The total dollars invested on StartEngine increased MoM from December to January to February. Spoiler alert: March is looking pretty good too.

Why investment volume matters: startups have a choice of where to raise capital, and the amount of money invested on a platform is a big part of that choice.

So just how much was invested each month? Here’s the breakdown:*

  • December: $10.3 million raised
  • January: $12.8 million raised
  • February: $15.0 million

Pacing to outdo ourselves again. Though there are still 16 days left in March, based on the first two weeks of the month, we’re on track to beat our February numbers. How long do you think we’ll maintain our streak? Share your estimate in the comments below.

StartEngine continues to notch new wins, even as the financial industry is roiled with unprecedented headlines. Our differentiator: investors like you.

Spinning the Flywheel: StartEngine Investor Referrals Spike 6X

We’re going to need a bigger graph – because in the last week alone, we’ve doubled our previous daily record for referrals…TWICE.*

ICYMI: Two weeks ago, we launched the second phase of our referral program. Now, when you refer a friend, you and your pal both get four shares of StartEngine (normally costs $100).

The results are staggering. Since launching the new phase of our referral program our average weekly number of referred users has spiked 6X – with 45% of those new users converting into investors. As Mr. Wonderful recently said, “word of mouth…can turn your world upside down.”**

Viral referral programs, like Robinhood’s free stock promo, have helped drive some of the most disruptive investment platforms out there. We aim to join their ranks – want in?

SVB Concerns – We’re Here to Help: A Letter from StartEngine CEO Howard Marks

No doubt, by now you’ve heard the news that regulators closed Silicon Valley Bank. Though StartEngine itself is unimpacted, yesterday Howard sent an open letter to founders asking them to get in touch if their businesses were account holders in SVB.

Here's what he had to say:

Today Silicon Valley Bank was shut down by regulators. This is a black-swan event and a terrible moment for many founders of otherwise strong companies.

I hope your business was not among those affected. But if it was, StartEngine can help.

We’ve supported over 750 founders like you with capital formation – even during crises like the COVID-19 pandemic.

My team is standing by. Please, get in touch.

Regards,

Howard Marks, CEO & Co-Founder StartEngine

We're asking for your help. If any founders in your network were impacted by yesterday’s news, please refer them to StartEngine. We’re fast-tracking our onboarding process and preparing test-the-waters pages for each of these companies to help them raise needed capital as quickly as possible. As a reminder, you can qualify for a $4,000 bonus for any referrals that sign and are deemed eligible to launch.

🏆 $12M Raised: StartEngine Crosses New Milestone Amid Funding Blitz

StartEngine’s OWN funding round just crossed $12 million. That’s a huge milestone to be sure, but really, it’s just the tip of the iceberg.

The start of a 2023 funding blitz? StartEngine’s latest funding milestone comes amid a recent spike in investment activity across our platform, as we gear up for the first new offerings from our recent acquisition of SeedInvest.* Case in point:

  • $5 million were invested on StartEngine in the last 10 days alone**

  • We’ve also seen an uptick in overall investments every month for the last four months

  • 36 “whales” (i.e. single investments over $100k) YTD in 2023 – as many as the last three quarters combined

The power of the crowd. StartEngine is the only equity crowdfunding platform to raise over $70 million of its OWN funding exclusively through the crowd. And the results speak for themselves.

Join us for every milestone to come, and invest in StartEngine.

You Asked, We Answered: The Full List of StartEngine & SeedInvest Exits*

To date, StartEngine and our soon-to-be-acquired competitor SeedInvest have clocked 40 exits.* Big number, we know – but it begs the question, which companies have completed exits anyways? Now you can check out the full list here.

Need a refresh? An exit is when a company undergoes an IPO, acquisition, or other liquidity event. So far 40 startups have exited following funding rounds on StartEngine or SeedInvest.

Liquidity is King. SeedInvest’s impressive track record when it comes to delivering liquidity was a huge part of our decision to acquire the company in Q4. As Howard announced earlier this week, driving liquidity is also why we aim to list every Reg CF and Reg A offering on our Secondary Trading Platform.

Join us as we rack up still more exits and earn up to 20% bonus shares when you invest in StartEngine.

Record-breaking Reg. CF (hit $5M max in under 30 days)

One of our companies raising under Reg. CF hit its $5 million max in under 30 days in its first ever offering. That’s a StartEngine first and could very well be a sign of things to come.

Quality over quantity. StartEngine has pivoted to serve the increasing demand from premium companies with a high potential for large raises. As we saw this week, the rewards can be more than worth it.

More monster offers to come? While we can’t guarantee an individual offer will max out, fast-moving raises have a tendency to attract large investors, which in turn can lead to…more monster offers. Case in point: in February alone, we received 18 investments over $100,000.

We're building a community of the best in the biz – that means attracting top startups AND investors. And you can get in today.

With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.

At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.

Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.

StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.

For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.

For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.

Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.

Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.

Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements.
