How you make money

Once you have made an investment in a startup, you will hold private equity in that company. The value of your stake in the company may increase or decrease over time depending on how the company performs. You will receive cash or stock return on your investment if and when a positive liquidity event occurs – for example, as a result of the company going public or getting acquired by another company. Please bear in mind that startup investments are long-term investments that may take years to become liquid, if they do at all.

How StartEngine makes money

In terms of fees, StartEngine only makes money when an offering raises money. We charge 5.5%* of total capital raised for Regulation Crowdfunding offerings, an additional 3% of what a offering raises in equity, as well as $15K in deferred revenue that we collect when the offering is complete.
