In 2015, the SEC adopted Regulation Crowdfunding, thereby granting the public the opportunity to invest in startups online. In March 2021, limits on the annual amounts raised through Regulation Crowdfunding were increased from $1.07M to $5M! As of September 20th, 2022, the maximum offering amount you can raise with Reviewed financials by an independent public accountant was raised to $1.235M.

While accredited investors may invest, we also allow non-accredited investors to invest in your company, which adds upwards of 88% of the population to your potential investor pool. StartEngine has over 1,000,000 users in its community who are waiting to learn more about your company.
