1,500+

Over 1,500 companies have been referred by StartEngine Scouts to date!

Why Did You Refer a Company?

With the coronavirus pandemic causing economic uncertainty, startups and small business are having an incredibly hard time accessing capital, so you’re going to see a material increase in interest in crowdfunding companies like StartEngine that are solving that problem. We’re going to look back on this period as the start of the rise of equity crowdfunding, and I think it’s an industry that StartEngine is going to win.

What Founders are Saying

I like the ease of use of StartEngine and that I didn't have to handhold the investors through the process...It's like going to Amazon and buying something, but you're investing in a company.
