StartEngine Crowdfunding

StartEngine Crowdfunding, Inc. (OTC: STRT) is one of the leading equity crowdfunding platforms in the United States, enabling companies to raise capital from individual investors through Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF) and Regulation A+ offerings conducted through the StartEngine online marketplace. According to its website at startengine.com, StartEngine has helped hundreds of companies raise hundreds of millions of dollars from individual investors since its founding in 2014, democratizing access to startup and growth company investment for the estimated 220 million Americans who qualify to invest in Reg CF and Reg A+ offerings. StartEngine's platform provides companies with the tools to create compelling investment offerings and reach a large community of individual investors, while providing investors with access to early-stage investment opportunities in innovative companies across technology, consumer, healthcare, and other growth sectors.

StartEngine's crowdfunding platform, described at startengine.com, enables companies to conduct equity, revenue share, and other investment offerings directly to individual investors through an SEC-registered online crowdfunding platform, with Regulation Crowdfunding offerings allowing companies to raise up to $5 million per year from any investor regardless of accreditation status. The platform provides companies with a comprehensive offering management system including investor communication tools, electronic document signing, payment processing, and regulatory compliance infrastructure, while providing investors with a curated marketplace of vetted company offerings with company profiles, financial disclosures, and investor discussion forums. StartEngine's investor community — comprising millions of registered investors — provides companies with access to a large, engaged audience of individual investors seeking early-stage equity investment opportunities beyond the publicly traded markets.

StartEngine is itself publicly traded on the OTC markets, having conducted its own successful crowdfunding raises through the StartEngine platform before listing — a distinctive example of a crowdfunding company whose investor base includes many of the same individual investors who use its platform to invest in other companies. According to startengine.com, the company's secondary trading marketplace — StartEngine Secondary — enables investors in crowdfunded companies to trade their shares with other investors, providing a degree of liquidity that has historically been unavailable for private company equity investments. StartEngine's combination of equity crowdfunding platform leadership, Reg CF and Reg A+ offering infrastructure, large individual investor community, secondary trading marketplace, and OTC-listed public company structure makes it one of the most innovative and consequential companies in the democratization of startup and growth company investing.
