For years, venture capital was a closed club. The only people investing in the next big thing were insiders—wealthy individuals with connections, capital, and early access. Everyday investors? Locked out. StartEngine is changing that story, and even giving investors the chance to invest in that turnaround, for a limited time. 

By opening up startup investing to the public, the company has given over 2.1 million users the chance to back early-stage companies with as little as $100.¹ And StartEngine is offering something even more powerful: the chance to invest in StartEngine itself. 

This isn’t just about backing startups. It’s about owning equity in the platform that’s redefining how the next generation builds wealth.

A Platform Built for the Future—Backed by Real Momentum and 3x Growth

StartEngine’s growth speaks for itself. Over $1.5 billion has been raised for startups on the platform, with more than 2.1 million users participating.¹ And behind the scenes, StartEngine’s own revenue has been accelerating fast.

In its latest financials, StartEngine reported a staggering 3x growth in revenue—marking its strongest quarters to date.² StartEngine’s revenue for the first half of 2025 reached an incredible $70 million — all while new product lines are scaling, investor interest is growing, and the momentum is building. 

This isn’t just a startup with potential. It’s a company proving, quarter after quarter, that there’s demand for a better way to invest.

Invest in the Platform Powering the Private Market Revolution

StartEngine doesn’t just list startup deals—it builds the infrastructure that makes them possible. With features like its Secondary Marketplace for liquidity and StartEngine Private for high-growth offerings, the platform is positioning itself at the center of the private market ecosystem.³

The opportunity here isn’t just to invest through StartEngine. It’s to invest in StartEngine.

This is the rare chance to own a piece of the platform itself—just as it’s scaling into one of the most influential players in private investing.
