Thank you for sharing this experience — we’re truly sorry for the stress and frustration this caused, especially given how long it took to get clarity. We understand how upsetting it is when funds appear unaccounted for and communication falls short. While we’re relieved to hear your investment was ultimately located, your feedback highlights the importance of timely responses and transparency, and we appreciate you taking the time to document what happened.

StartEngine provides investors an opportunity to invest in early-stage start-ups. What this means is that you are often investing in early stage companies. Investments in these types of companies are risky by their nature, and many often fail without any element of fraud or misconduct. As we try to remind you in various places throughout the website, including in the educational materials which all users agree to when creating an account, the universal website footer, and every investment agreement used in conjunction with any offering on our platform, these investments are speculative, illiquid, and involve a high degree of risk including the possible loss of your entire investment. Even if a company is successful, it takes some time, often years, before an investor can have an opportunity to realize any returns on these types of investments. While we wish all the companies who raise our platform the best of success, we also encourage investors to remember when making any investments through the platform that all investments are speculative, illiquid, and involve a high degree of risk including the possible loss of your entire investment, and to take this risk under consideration and invest responsibly.

Hi Kent, we apologize for any confusion here; however, as mentioned to you before, StartEngine typically does not issue tax documents. Any tax documents issued will come from the company. Thanks!
