What is StartEngine?

One of the first and largest private investing platforms for everyday investors in the U.S.

Since 2017, StartEngine has been opening private market investing to everyday investors, giving them exposure to pre-IPO companies historically reserved for venture capitalists and institutions.1

With over 2.4 million registered users and more than $1.2 billion deployed on the platform, StartEngine has become one of the most active communities in alternative investing.3 Several companies with offerings previously listed by StartEngine have since gone on to IPO.1

Now, we're once again opening a round so that you can invest in StartEngine itself and own a piece of the platform you've been investing through.

Back-to-back years of ~2× revenue growth

Revenue grew from $23M in 2023 to $48M in 2024, and surpassed $109M in FY 2025 — nearly doubling in each of the last two years.4 In Q1 of 2026, our revenue was $25M (compared to $30.3M in Q1 of 2025).

Recent growth was driven primarily by our pre-IPO product line.1

The pre-IPO moment is now

The private-to-public pipeline continues to attract substantial investor interest and capital.

SpaceX OpenAI Anthropic xAI Stripe Perplexity Kraken Groq

StartEngine has provided accredited investors with exposure to names like SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic — companies behind three of the most anticipated public offerings.1 That demand has shown up directly in our revenue.

We have consistently sold out offerings and are actively working to keep pace with investor appetite — a challenge that reflects the scale of the opportunity in front of us and why we are raising capital to further capitalize on that momentum.

Capitalizing through strategic acquisitions & hires

StartEngine is broadening its platform into new markets and user bases.

Acquired assets 2023

SeedInvest

In 2023, StartEngine acquired certain assets of SeedInvest, adding hundreds of thousands of registered users — significantly expanding our investor community and platform reach.3

Expanding since 2024

Pre-IPO Team

Since launching pre-IPO opportunities in 2024, we've continued investing in our internal team that helps investors build their portfolios. We're committed to keeping that trend going.1

New · Acquired March 2026

Vinovest

In March 2026, StartEngine acquired Vinovest, a platform for fine wine and whisky investment, broadening our offering into alternative assets beyond equities.6 The alternative investment market is projected to reach nearly $60 trillion by 2033.5

This is why we're raising capital: grow this team and capitalize on the market.

— Leadership —

Led by a founder who's done it before

StartEngine's CEO has decades of experience building & scaling category-defining companies.

Howard Marks
Co-Founder & CEO

Prior to StartEngine, Howard co-founded Activision — the video game giant behind franchises like Call of Duty — which he helped build before it was acquired by Microsoft for $69B.7 He subsequently founded and sold Acclaim Entertainment, which was later acquired by Disney.8 At StartEngine, Howard has applied the same founder instincts to building one of the most active private-market investment platforms in the world.

“The most impactful wealth generation now occurs well before an IPO. Individual investors have routinely been forced to wait on the sidelines, entering the picture only after much of the upside has already been realized. StartEngine is changing that. We're creating a highly transparent, regulated, and purpose-built on-ramp to pre-IPO assets.”

Howard Marks · Co-Founder & CEO
— Business model —

How StartEngine makes money

A diversified, fee-based model, anchored by our pre-IPO product line. StartEngine earns fees across several core streams:

01

Pre-IPO offerings

Our largest source of revenue. StartEngine earns fees built into the structure of each pre-IPO offering.4 In some cases we also take carried interest, aligning our success with our investors'.

02

Capital-raising fees

Companies that raise capital on StartEngine pay to run their offerings, typically through a commission on capital raised and processing fees.

03

Secondary trading

Through StartEngine's regulated trading marketplace, investors can buy and sell eligible private securities, and StartEngine earns transaction-based fees.

04

Membership & perks

Investors can join Venture Club for an annual fee (currently $275), which provides bonus shares on eligible offerings.2

05

StartEngine Secure

We provide a transfer agent, cap table management tools, and industry expertise to navigate fundraising under Reg A+, Reg CF, Reg D, and more.

This diversified model means StartEngine has the opportunity to grow alongside its community: as more investors participate and more companies raise capital on the platform, our revenue base broadens.

— Community —

50,000+ people already believe in what we're building

StartEngine has always been a platform built by the crowd, for the crowd. So when we decided to raise capital for ourselves, we turned to the same community we've spent nearly a decade serving.

More than 50,000 individuals have already invested over $100 million directly into StartEngine — not into companies on the platform, but into StartEngine itself. These include everyday investors who have watched us grow, used the platform firsthand, and made a deliberate choice to back the company behind it all.

That level of community ownership is rare. It means our shareholders are also our users, our advocates, and our most vocal supporters. They're not passive bystanders — they're invested in our success in every sense of the word.

Now we're opening the next chapter of that story to you.

  1. The companies which StartEngine Private invests in are not involved in or endorsing investments in StartEngine Private, and have not approved StartEngine Private LLC or its affiliates. When you invest through StartEngine Private, you are buying an interest in a separate Series of StartEngine Private LLC, not directly in the companies listed. References to specific offerings are abbreviated names used to identify the applicable Series of StartEngine Private LLC and are not the full legal names of those Series. The Series may hold shares directly or through a special-purpose vehicle (SPV). Your interests may differ from the companies' stock in both rights and value, and there may not be a one-to-one economic parity between the value of Series interests and the underlying shares. The Series also bears its own costs (such as transaction and administrative expenses), which may reduce investor returns. The initial offerings were made under Regulation D, Rule 506(c), through StartEngine Primary LLC (member FINRA/SIPC), and were available only to accredited investors. These investments are speculative, illiquid, and high risk, and you should be prepared to hold them indefinitely and to bear the risk of losing your entire investment. StartEngine and its affiliates do not provide financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. This update may include information from third-party or public sources that has not been independently verified and may be incomplete or inaccurate. Before investing, review the full offering documents on the offering pages and consult your advisors.
  2. Investors in StartEngine can receive up to 20% total bonus shares based on certain criteria. Perks Terms & Conditions: 10% if you reserved shares during the latest Test the Waters phase; 10% if you are a member of the Venture Club (members get 10% on all investments in eligible offerings for a year for an annual fee of $275, purchasable at checkout); 5% if you invest between $3,000 and $4,999.99; 10% if you invest between $5,000 and $24,999.99; 20% if you invest $25,000 or more. Bonus shares in this offering are stackable, up to a maximum of 20%. Any investor who falls into two or all three categories will receive 20% bonus shares. Bonus shares may not immediately appear on your investor dashboard, but will be issued prior to the offering closing. To receive perks, one must submit a single investment that meets the minimum perk requirement. If you are investing via a self-directed IRA, you cannot receive additional perks beyond bonus shares due to tax laws.
  3. StartEngine's user base was determined by the number of unique email addresses in the company's database as of 04-03-2025. Vinovest's user base was also determined by the number of unique email addresses in its database. One individual may have more than one email address. In May 2023, StartEngine acquired assets of SeedInvest, including email lists for SeedInvest's users, investors and founders. Amount invested includes $470M in funds raised previously through offerings conducted on www.seedinvest.com outside of the StartEngine platform.
  4. Based on our FY 2025 Form 10-K. This revenue growth has been driven by StartEngine Private, a new product line that offers funds in late-stage companies. This product line contributed $86,603,559 of the $109,580,580 in revenue during FY 2025. To understand the impact on margins, see financials. Past performance may not be indicative of future performance.
  5. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP adjusted to exclude interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation. We present Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management team to evaluate operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions. Non-GAAP information should be considered supplemental in nature and is not a substitute for related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA is presented in our FY 2025 Form 10-K.
