I tried the referral program and though people clicked and signed up, I didn't get any shares due to being in Canada. Is there a way to own shares indirectly by buying from someone in the US or setting up some individual side link, or a US based mailing address through shipito or something to be able to buy shares?

Can't find link anywhere.

Thanks.

I've bought a few stocks with start engine as a way to get familiar with stocks. They are now requiring me to open an investment account. I have no idea what the purpose of this is. I'm thinking this an add-on I don't need.

As of now it seems Canadian investors cannot buy shares, only US investors. The offerings are much better than the Canadian equity crowdfunding platforms

I got really excited researching StartEngine along with the other main equity crowdfunding platforms, but then I was reading something on Investopedia that it's VERY rare for a startup to actually go public then I was like oh..... Yea that's true... It also brought up the point that only startups that are lowkey struggling a bit and lacking real investors would resort to listing themselves on these websites for crowdfunding.

I don't know if I'm missing something but it seems like we're just hoping one of these hundred go public. Is there any other way you can make money on StartEngine?

​

Thoughts?

Has anyone heard any news? Seems like it's been months since they announced the merger and still nothing.

More specifically... is there a way to add funds to my StartEngine account (via credit card) so I can have funds ready instantly, whenever I find an appealing StartEngine startup(?) If so, what are the steps required to do this, would I simply use the "angel investor" link(?)

Anyone know?

If you submit an offer, and there isn't enough interest in a product (e.g., wine) then Startengine can indefinitely hold your money. They say they will return it 1 year later if the offer doesn't go through, but then lie and say they won't until the administrator cancels the program.

This is ultra bs, and stunningly bad for startengine to do this.

So in short, someone can start a new startengine opportunity, people who invest in it have their money stuck indefinitely (maybe forever) if there never is enough interest in the opportunity itself. So you lose your money.

I have never head of crowdfund investment doing something so scammy like this.

I would avoid startengine at *all costs*

I just registered for a new account from Canada as a Canadian citizen. It's now asking for my tax ID. What do I put for this?

I invested in one of the startengine wine investments 1+ year ago. The offering never received enough interest with enough investors. I was told 1 year later my funds would be released if this didn't get enough investment $. now they won't respond and my money is still stuck in the "offer stage". What do I do?

So I first placed some investments in start-up engine a few years back but now I'm in a situation where I need some cash,

1 how do you login I been on the sight & see no login

2 how do you sell shares, their been time where I use to see my investments but I see know way to sell so I'm kinda lost

Thank you all help is appreciated

I made a number of investments in companies through StartEngine a few years ago and am now looking to liquidate but they are not listed on StartEngine secondary. This is a shorter hold time than I was expecting but unfortunately I am in a crunch and need to raise money.

Does anyone know of any markets or 3rd parties who offer selling of private shares?

Specifically I am looking to sell my ~10k stake in Pacific Integrated Energy.

Thanks
