What Investors Are Saying About StartEngine
“I believe in the vision.” - Johann, a new StartEngine investor.
“Heard great things about your company. Happy to help change the world.” - Kenneth, a new StartEngine investor.
“I love the concept and believe your team has the potential to go far” - Rudy, a new StartEngine investor.

“I have great confidence in Howard’s ability to lead StartEngine to a special investment experience for me and anyone else that invests.” - John, a new StartEngine investor.
“It’s incredibly exciting and rewarding to invest in companies that I believe in and feel like I know the individuals involved rather than just a "ticker" symbol on the stock market. StartEngine has made the process SO SIMPLE. I think everyone is going to want to take part in these investments and this easy process! Additionally, the potential for profits is incredible! Thank you for creating this opportunity for everyday people like me!” - Patricia, a new StartEngine investor.
“It’s an asymmetric opportunity, and there is certainly growth in the crowdfunding area. As a platform, you are a picks and shovels business, which is more resilient than new business models.” - John, a new StartEngine investor.
This is it! Our funding round closes tonight at midnight Pacific time! We’ve raised $8.3M and counting, and we raised over $300K yesterday! We are less than $1M away from our goal, and we are in the final hours of our raise.
We are so grateful to all of the 6,742 investors who have invested in us in this offering, and thank you to all of our existing shareholders.
This is your last chance to invest in this offering and invest in StartEngine on these terms. We’ve got less than 9 hours to go. Let’s keep pushing to max out this funding round at $9M!
If you need any more encouragement, StartEngine’s CEO has a final message for you:
What Investors Are Saying About StartEngine
“I invested at the last minute because of the fact that the SEC might increase the Regulation Crowdfunding limit for companies to raise $5 million from $1.07 million. I believe that StartEngine is properly positioned to claim a large chunk of fees and commissions from this surge.” - Peter, a recent StartEngine investor.
We’re in the final push. StartEngine’s current $9M funding round closes tomorrow at midnight. We’re at $7.8M, and we’ve raised over $1M in the last week alone! With your help, we can max out this funding round. Let’s keep up the momentum!
As we approach the end of this campaign, check out another message from StartEngine’s CEO:
At StartEngine, we believe in the power of the crowd. Why should founders turn to institutional investors when they can raise from their customers and the community they already have?
Rather than relying on wealthy individuals, we believe that the collective community on StartEngine is more important than any one person. In fact, the collective annual income of the StartEngine community is $1.3B. With such a strong community behind us, we can help entrepreneurs change the world, and we want you to help us.
What Investors Are Saying About StartEngine:
“I invested in StartEngine because it’s number 1 in what it does. I also like the idea that in the very near future, StartEngine could be the NASDAQ of crowdfunding engines. It would appear that StartEngine has its thumb on the pulse of startup companies. Being the go-to site among a crowded field tends to put a target on your head. I feel confident that I made the right decision to invest in StartEngine. Let’s go!” - Emmet, a recent StartEngine investor.
The SEC released exciting news on Thursday March 4th. They proposed regulatory changes that would dramatically change how equity crowdfunding works. Those changes include:
The amount companies can raise under Regulation Crowdfunding would be increased from $1.07M to $5M.
The amount companies can raise under Regulation A+ would be increased from $50M to $75M.
Non-accredited investors would be able to use the greater of their annual income or net worth to calculate their investment limit in Regulation Crowdfunding as opposed to the lesser of the two.
Accredited investors would have no limit on the amount they can invest in Regulation Crowdfunding offerings.
This proposal is open to public comment for the next 60 days, but if they are ultimately implemented, they could greatly impact StartEngine itself.
In 2019, companies on StartEngine raised $43M, a 63% YoY increase, and investors like you made 55,577 investments, a 99.5% YoY increase. But imagine what we could accomplish if companies on our platform could raise more and users could invest more before reaching their annual limit.
There are only 3 more days left to invest in StartEngine's current funding round. What are you waiting for?

If that’s not enough, read on to see what a recent investor (thanks Scott!) had to say about StartEngine.
“Latest update was inspiring. Your credentials are outstanding, and I want to be an owner in a company like that. This was the third time I have invested, and I more than doubled my two initial investments combined. The success you’ve achieved and continue to achieve is simply amazing. Who knows? I might even make one final investment right at the closing bell…”
Well you heard it from Scott, so what are you waiting for?
