1. 5/5Rooransr

   This has been very Fun to invest in. It has been exciting to watch things grow. I do like the fact that a lot of it is affordable some of it is out of my price range however, I wish it would come down to a lower range of pricing so I could invest in more different things. Thank you. I especially would like to invest more in Legion M, but it’s now going up to $500 to make an investment it used to be much cheaper. I would definitely love to buy more of that. I would like to buy more of this one too but I keep on trying to campaign for this like it could do very well if you just had certain accounts where we could just put away $50 a month end it would really grow it would do well I mean I’ve been trying to promote it, but it doesn’t seem to be happening thank you

2. 5/5Excellent Way to Lose Money

   If you want a quick way to burn some cash without hope of ever making a profit, invest with Start Engine. This is not a legitimate company. Definitely not a true securities company, which I understood going in. It’s a crowd funding company like Kickstarter, Indiegogo, and Go Fund Me. I invested in Start Engine early in their startup thinking it might be an interesting new method to invest in pre IPO companies. After five years none of the companies have gone IPO. So I finally gave up. I tried to divest and close my account. Nope. In order to close my account I have to sell my shares. Sell my shares? Purchase a nearly $300 membership. Strange but ok. Sell my shares. Nope, only specific companies are available to trade on the market. Close my account. Purchase a membership. I asked to delete my data. Purchase a membership. I said keep the money, I don’t need it. Sorry you need to divest. Which, guess what I need to do? Sell my shares which requires… Purchase a membership. Luckily I was suspicious from the beginning because of who started the company so I only lost a few grand. Do yourself a favor and invest in a fiduciary.

3. 1/5Scammers!

   I invested $300 to a start up called JET AI in 2020. I thought it was a good investment because its the uber of jets! With kevin oleary promoting it, i thought ok this is legit. Then years past nothing was happening and they stopped promoting. The year they knew trump is becoming president and with the help of the old sec who were also scamming the usa, did something to steal our money. So in 2024 ALL early investors got their shares dropped to 0?! Though the years i tried figuring out how to sell my shares and start engine never helped. Then they send me an email saying my shares were being sold or transferred to another company “continental stock” and they also left me clueless giving me the run around. Then when it was all set and done they FINALLY told me that this and this happened. But i still understand why my 999 shares went to 0 when the stock is higher than ever? These people are scammers and oleary is part of the scamming, i dont care how popular he is dont invest in start engine.

4. 5/5User friendly app, very modern and sleek in presentation, no errors yet

   I do really love the app and Startengine for the access it is providing and the Venture Club bonus shares. I am investing over $20k per year which makes me feel like the extra shares are more than paying for the annual fee. I appreciate Kevin for his endorsement and investment in Startengine and I look forward to the great things we will see here in the future. Thank you for helping bring this to life Mr. Marks. Thank you for providing opportunities for people to connect and put their faith in others and their dreams. Cheers to a successful venture!

5. 5/5The Everyman’s Golden Key to Unicorns

   StartEngine is a fantastic platform that opens up a world of opportunities for the everyday investor. As a non-accredited investor, I’ve always felt excluded from early-stage investing, but StartEngine changes the game by allowing regular people like me to invest in promising startups and small businesses. The app itself is intuitive and well-designed, making it easy to explore different investment options and learn about the companies seeking funding. I love the transparency StartEngine offers, with detailed information about each startup’s mission, goals, and growth potential. The performance has been excellent, and the process of investing is straightforward and seamless. It’s empowering to know that I can diversify my portfolio and potentially be part of the next big thing without needing to be a millionaire. If you’re looking for an accessible way to start investing in startups, I highly recommend StartEngine. It’s a game-changer for democratizing the investment landscape!

   Buyer be beware! There seems to be a pattern of suspicious behavior by SartEngine. After years of investing, I couldn't move my shares coupled with cancelled or dissolved investments. The government needs to investigate this company. Something isn't right.

   very slow response. my account has been frozen for over 6 weeks now. wrote to customer service in early June. still, they have not resolved it. also, they charged me for selling shares for transfer fees. couple of months. that transaction is still not completed. it is like consumer fraud, charging and not completing a transaction over 30 days.

   Don't invest this is a scam. You will lose everything you invest with. Do some research about this company before you choose to lock and burn your money.
