The PITCH
WorthPoint is believed to be one of the world's largest sources of how to value fine art, antiques, and collectibles. This popular site, which brings 200,000 to 300,000 visitors to its platform daily, contains 1.3 billion images and more than 715 million values of vintage and antique items. The Price Guide is enhanced by the company’s Dictionary of more than 8,000 articles and a visual database of more than 227,000 identifiable marks, autographs, patterns, and symbols. This industry-leading suite of services allows buyers and sellers to figure out what an item is, what it’s worth, and what price is reasonable for sale. WorthPoint believes it is the only outside company to share a long-lasting, close working relationship with eBay, the world’s largest e-commerce marketplace for secondhand goods. The company has had eBay as a partner since its founding in 2007.
WorthPoint is backed by a strong leadership team that includes CEO and founder Will Seippel, who has over 25 years of financial and operational experience, a lifetime passion in antiques and collectibles, and a history of structuring complex transactions that have raised $5 billion in capital. Seippel is joined by CFO Neal McAtee, who has been recognized five times as an All-Star Analyst in The Wall Street Journal for his stock-picking ability, and VP of Editorial Content and Public Relations Eric Bradley, who has 25 years of experience in fine art, antiques, and collectibles, authored 12 reference books and buying guides, and has been quoted in The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times.
The Problem & Our Solution
For centuries, fair market values of fine art, antiques, and collectibles were controlled by auction houses and private dealers. This business model kept buyers in the dark about fair pricing. WorthPoint, however, believes that pricing transparency is good for buyers and sellers, as it evens the playing field between the two.
Today, WorthPoint is believed to offer more fair market pricing data than any other company. With more than 715 million prices and 1.3 billion images from both eBay and auction houses, WorthPoint has an extensive database for discovering, valuing, learning about, and preserving collectibles and valuables.
Buyers and sellers can use WorthPoint's Price Guide to find accurate pricing trends from nearly two decades of historical pricing data. Site visitors can also access a digital Library of more than 15,000 books, guides, and catalogs covering topics from comic books to sterling silver and a database of 227,000 makers’ marks, autographs, patterns, and symbols to identify items and uncover their history, value, and authenticity.
The Market & Our Traction
WorthPoint’s number of annual subscriptions has experienced exponential growth during the past few years and now makes up 20% of the company’s subscription revenue—an impressive improvement from 12% just a few years ago. The Online Auction Market value is set to grow by USD 1.90 billion, progressing at a CAGR of 9.7% between 2021 and 2026 (source). Additionally, the market and customer base continue to grow as approximately 10,000 Baby Boomers turn 65 each day and enter the age group most likely to have an estate sale (source). The National Estate Sales Association (NESA) estimates $100 million of revenue is generated nationally each month from estate sales (source). As CEO Will Seippel says, "Art and collectibles are fundamentally an economic asset.”

According to UnivDatos Markets Insights, the collectibles market grew to $360 billion in 2020 and is expected to continue at a compound annual growth rate of 4% until 2028 (source). In 2022, collectors paid record prices for collectibles, such as an original iPhone that sold for $63,000 and a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle baseball card that sold for $12.6 million
Why Invest
As the market grows, and items from younger generations become classics, WorthPoint’s database continues to expand. The company is currently working on building WorthPoint Indices, which will use its database of more than 700 million realized auction prices to create an index-linked investment product that statistically measures price trends. WorthPoint is also launching the WorthPoint Vault, a user-generated digital database that helps subscribers organize valuables, inventory, and collections and track their values over time. This service will help price, sell, and archive items of emotional and historical significance documented through photographs, family histories, and video. WorthPoint will also be enhancing its mobile app with the option to visually search for items sold and listed in its pricing database.
Experience the power of pricing transparency—invest in WorthPoint today.

The 10% StartEngine Owners' Bonus
WorthPoint Corporation will offer 10% additional bonus shares for all investments that are committed by investors that are eligible for the StartEngine Crowdfunding Inc. OWNer's bonus.
This means eligible StartEngine shareholders will receive a 10% bonus for any shares they purchase in this offering. For example, if you buy 100 shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock at $12.00 / share, you will receive 110 shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock, meaning you'll own 110 shares for $1,200. Fractional shares will not be distributed and share bonuses will be determined by rounding down to the nearest whole share.
This 10% Bonus is only valid during the investor's eligibility period. Investors eligible for this bonus will also have priority if they are on a waitlist to invest and the company surpasses its maximum funding goal. They will have the first opportunity to invest should room in the offering become available if prior investments are canceled or fail.
Investors will receive the highest single bonus they are eligible for among the bonuses based on the amount invested and time of offering elapsed (if any). Eligible investors will also receive the Owner’s Bonus in addition to the aforementioned bonus.

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
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. To learn more about Regulation Crowdfunding, click here, and for Regulation A+, click here.

Investing in private company securities is not suitable for all investors. An investment in private company securities is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. It should only be considered a long-term investment. You must be prepared to withstand a total loss of your investment. Private company securities are also highly illiquid, and there is no guarantee that a market will develop for such securities. Each investment also carries its own specific risks, and you should complete your own independent due diligence regarding the investment. This includes obtaining additional information about the company, opinions, financial projections, and legal or other investment advice. Accordingly, investing in private company securities is appropriate only for those investors who can tolerate a high degree of risk and do not require a liquid investment.

SE Secondary facilitates the trading of securities by matching orders between buyers and sellers and facilitating executions of trades on the platform. While a security may be displayed on the bulletin board, these securities will be subject to certain restrictions which may prevent the ability to buy and sell these securities in a timely manner, if at all. Even if a security is qualified to be displayed on the bulletin board, 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 or be able to pledge these shares as collateral.
