It's a black hole
It's a black hole! Putting money in is easy. Getting your money out is next to impossible. I'm to the point of just chalking it up to a bad decision on my part. I caution everyone to think twice.

StartEngine makes crowd funding through equity a real thing. Raising capital like this was always reserved for the biggest companies. The rest of us, as startups, don't really have many places to go. Now we do. And they recently merged with another company so they have a huge list of investors!

StartEngine is a great idea. However, the oversight and lock-in periods are questionable and you should only invest money you can lose. I worked for a StartEngine company and the company was very poorly run, and lots of money was wasted. Given that experience, I would be very careful investing in anything on StartEngine, you have no way of knowing what your money is going into, if the management actually wants to scale the product, and if the company is not just a big scam. Your positions are illiquid, have no oversight, and are unregulated. It is like the stock market, but activity is so low that price swings (down) are inevitable when (and if) StartEngine allows trading. I would stick to the stock market or other assets before rolling your hard-earned cash into this black box.

Hi we trust your company with our investments and management of all investments that we invested in, it’s great that there are still people we can trust in. Keep up the great work.

The company does all the leg work as far as doing the research on each and every company that they suggest and or the individual is looking at to possibly invest in. They make it easy for regular people like me to invest into companies that are starting out that one day may turn into giants and make everyone lots of money.

The investment platform by StartEngine has allowed me, an everday normal investor, the opportunity explore a new concept with diversification. There are many benefits to gain from an investor that is interested with expanding their own knowledge and understanding of these investment platforms.
