StartEngine’s $30M Surge — Own a Piece Before June 26
Private markets are having a moment, thanks to companies like StartEngine.
The leading alternative investing platform is helping everyday investors like you access deals once reserved for VCs and insiders, including exposure to private market titans like OpenAI, Databricks, and Perplexity.¹
How’s it going? In Q1 2025, StartEngine pulled off $30M in revenue, its biggest quarter ever (based on unaudited financials).²
But StartEngine isn’t just a middleman. The company earns 20% carried interest on select pre-IPO offerings, unlocking value for shareholders when these deals succeed.³
How can you tap into this diversification play? By investing in StartEngine.
StartEngine has crowdfunded $85M+ to date, and you can join 45K+ shareholders before the company’s current round closes on June 26.

Ladder math vs. leverage math
My manager makes €4,500/month.
His manager makes €6,000/month.
The CEO makes €25,000/month.I make €2,600/month.
Math is simple: climbing the ladder = 20 years to maybe triple my income.
Building my own thing = potential to 10x it in 2 years.
Easy choice.
