What happens when the campaign closes?

At the end of your campaign, funds are still clearing from your campaign. We allot ~30 days for investors to fulfill payment post close. Following that timeframe, we will reach out to you. We will cancel anything that has not been cleared and we will have you request your final disbursement. You'll also need to confirm whether you'd like to initiate your next disbursement post close. You'll also need to confirm your preferred email contact for investor inquiries. We also recommend posting an update on your campaign page so investors know how to contact you with questions about the company or their investment going forward. It is best practice to share updates with your investors on a quarterly basis. You can do this through the StartEngine platform which you have lifetime access to, or by creating an investor newsletter list with the contact information we provide you at the close of the campaign. For update posting requests and general post-close questions, please email services@startengine.com.

To comply with SEC regulation, we will also be filing your required administrative Form C-U progress update. Please see the Regulation requirements here.
