About the Company
StartEngine is one of the leading equity crowdfunding platforms in the United States. It enables everyday people to invest in and own shares of startups and early-stage companies. The platform provides entrepreneurs with a streamlined way to raise capital from a large community of investors, democratizing access to venture capital.
StartEngine was co-founded by Howard Marks, the co-founder of Activision, and Ron Miller. They launched the platform following the passage of the 2012 JOBS Act, which opened the door for non-accredited investors to fund startups. Their mission was to help entrepreneurs achieve their dreams by providing them with a viable alternative to traditional venture capital, while simultaneously giving the general public access to an asset class that was previously reserved for the wealthy.
StartEngine is a public company that trades on the OTCQX market under the ticker symbol STGC. The company has funded its own growth multiple times by raising capital directly from its own user base through Regulation A+ offerings. This unique "eat your own dog food" approach has allowed it to raise tens of millions of dollars, demonstrating the power of its own platform while fueling its expansion and technology development.
As a publicly traded company, its value fluctuates. Recently, its market capitalization has been approximately **$400 million**.
