Knight scope goes public our shares are not issued till after they go public. The stock surges to 24.00 and then drops like a rock. We should of been able to sell the stock in the surge but we get screwed because it was not issued to us till after. Now we own stock at half of our value and no chance to break even in the future. This is not right the way the did it. The IPO is what we wanted and is what start engine is for. Instead are money is locked in and lost when it goes public. When I emailed them I get a gobbled up reply not addressing the issue of stock. which tells me in the future it will happen again on another investment. Why invest if we can not make money when a stock goes public. The only one who made money in this deal is the owner of knightscope.

Great site for investing in up and coming startups. Many of the reviews seems to be from people not being aware of what they are going into. This type of intermediary is your only option if you want to invest in up and coming startups - there are no other choices out there!

There is no way to speak to a person, so you're at the mercy of their contact email....which they never reply to. I am getting an error message on the investment screen with zero guidance explaining how to correct the entry. What good is an on-line investment page if you can't invest using it!! They need to start responding to their customer's--I'm ready to move onto a new investment company.

I made an investment in October for Metaiye Knights via Start Engine. I was notified in writing that my separate investments could not be combined and if I wanted to cancel any of the investments at that time, I could since it had not processed, so I did cancel one of them immediately. I received an email stating that my money would be refunded in 10 days. It is now 3 months and I do not have my money. I was given an apology email that my money was processed by mistake. No one will even call me to speak with me directly. It was the company's mistake not mine and it is good business practice to give me my money and wait to get yours back. Will never use Start Engine again.

The issue was resolved by Jordan and funds were promptly refunded

Communication and website issues. Great for people who are raising money. If your looking for liquidity then this is not going to work for the small uncredited investor. I found out there was a stock split however no message was sent to me thus confusing me. I thought I lost 67% but later I found out that is lost 10% if the valuation has any validity. After a year the stock on the secondary market would cost me 10% plus fees. Not the best return for my investment and the ability to access the funds. May take years before I break even. Thats not what I was expecting

Don't do it. Save your money. They do not research the companies they crowd fund for. They will crowd fund for any company that pays them.

I made a $10k investment and was charged a second time 5 days later. I've tried reaching out to their support team across multiple channels, but no answer. They also have failed to reverse a previous charge of $275 two weeks ago that they assured me would be back in my account within 10 days.
