Start Engine is definitely a special and remarkable crowdfunding platform. The variety of opportunities sort of allows for one to foresee the ever-changing intriguing landscape of innovation and technology. They are transparent and have also simplified the complexity to join as well as partake in opportunities that matter or 'speaks' to you. You can Trust Start Engine!

I have been on SE over 4 years - to date there has been no IPO or similar for any of the 9 investments - including SE itself (one holding did just ask Nasdaq to hold a ticker for them - but even they say it could be years before it goes public). Additionally what is missing are regular recurring updates - some investments have gone 1-2 years with NO updates. I realize the rules for non-public companies are different, but at the least we should have some funnel of information to absorb. SE will tell you to be patient, etc to see results, however founders have and continue to cash out in subsequent funding rounds (you must dig into the SEC filings to see these details). I have ceased to use SE as an investment vehicle - it isn't worth throwing good money after bad as they say and finding that "Mr Wonderful" is hauling in a substantial fee for shilling SE is a bit much.
