StartEngine
StartEngine is an online platform that allows everyday investors to buy shares in early-stage companies and startups, much like crowdfunding but for investments. Companies seeking funding create profiles on StartEngine, where they present their business ideas and goals. Investors can browse these opportunities, evaluate potential returns, and choose to invest with as little as a few dollars. This open-access approach democratizes startups’ funding process, enabling broader participation beyond traditional venture capital. StartEngine thereby connects innovative companies with a diverse pool of investors, fostering growth and entrepreneurship through accessible, regulated investment opportunities.
