StartEngine’s Blockbuster Year: How You Can Join the Action Before Our June Deadline

StartEngine is the platform allowing accredited investors to gain exposure to some of the world’s most coveted private companies like OpenAI, Perplexity, and Databricks — without paying millions.

Not surprisingly, they just posted new blockbuster financials:

📈 Monster (and record) Q4 revenues
📈 Revenue doubled year-over-year ($23M -> $48M)

They’ve been building something big, and the results speak for themselves.

The even better part? The window is open (but closing soon) for you to join their latest funding round. Over 50,000 have invested $84+ million in StartEngine — and now you can get in on the action before this round closes next month. Investments start as low as $500.
