StartEngine: Pre-IPO Investing

The StartEngine app allows users to participate in the private market by buying and selling shares of pre-IPO companies on their secondary marketplace. This provides investors with the opportunity to build their position in a company or gain liquidity without having to wait for an IPO. Additionally, users can invest in early-stage companies across a variety of sectors through SEC-regulated equity crowdfunding, becoming shareholders in startups they believe in.

With the StartEngine app, users can easily track their investments in one portfolio dashboard, including pre-IPO positions, secondary market trades, and crowdfunding investments. This allows for real-time updates on the companies they have backed. Users can also connect with a community of over a million investors and founders, allowing for direct communication with company founders, the ability to follow company updates, and stay informed as their investments develop.

The app offers a range of features, including the ability to browse pre-IPO companies and secondary market listings, buy and sell shares in private companies, and invest in startup equity crowdfunding campaigns. Users can also view SEC filings, team details, and company updates, as well as follow companies and track campaign milestones. The app also allows for monitoring of the full investment portfolio in one place, making it easy for users to stay on top of their investments.

StartEngine is the parent company of four wholly owned subsidiaries, including StartEngine Capital, LLC, StartEngine Primary, LLC, StartEngine Secure, LLC, and StartEngine Assets, LLC.
