The Topline

Equity crowdfunding publication KingsCrowd has released the May numbers, and funds raised under Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg. CF) reached $23.7M for the month. Meanwhile, offers under Regulation A+ (Reg. A+) accounted for another $4.2M raised, bringing the industry total for equity deals to $27.9M.*

What’s the difference between Reg. CF & Reg. A+?

How did StartEngine fare, you ask?

Between Reg. CF & Reg A+ combined, $12.6M was raised on our platform last month – close to half of the industry total.** Compared to runners up Wefunder and Republic, well, we’ll let the numbers speak for themselves…

The Topline

According to equity crowdfunding publication KingsCrowd, funds raised under Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg. CF) hit $37.2 million in April, a 35% jump from the month prior. Combined with Regulation A+ (Reg. A+), industry totals reached $43.3 million to kick off Q2.¹

What’s the difference between Reg. CF & Reg. A+?

As for StartEngine, funds raised under Reg. CF & A+ combined on our platform reached $11 million in April, or just over 25% of the industry total.² It’s a big slice of the pie, but then again, we’re celebrating…

$700 Million Raised on StartEngine²

In the first week of April, StartEngine officially crossed $700 million in lifetime funding on our platform. It’s a, well…huge number, but it also reflects a recent acceleration in crowdfunding. 

Case in point: it took us six years to raise our first $500 million and less than 18 months to raise $200 million more. If that trend continues, $1 billion may be closer on the horizon than you might think.

Where Will Venture Funding Bottom Out?

The latest reporting from Crunchbase found that the decline in venture funding may in fact be speeding up. According to the publication, global VC activity fell 53% YoY in Q1, but the April numbers are even grimmer at a whopping 56% dropoff from last year. 

For context, that means last month founders saw $26.8 billion fewer dollars in venture capital funding than they did this time in 2022. It also begs two important questions: where’s the bottom? And what can fill the massive funding shortfall?

As StartEngine’s Strategic Advisor Kevin O’Leary explained at our latest pitch competition, founders shouldn’t expect institutional dollars to come back anytime soon.⁴ Shocks to the system – like Silicon Valley Bank’s abrupt collapse – have many VCs looking to protect their existing investments (i.e. not adding new companies to their portfolios).

Enter equity crowdfunding (c’mon, you know we’re gonna plug it). Early signs from 2023 suggest crowdfunding could be far more resilient to economic uncertainty than venture capital. On StartEngine alone, 14 funding rounds have surpassed $1 million raised so far this year as we’ve received more than 3,000 applications to raise capital on our platform. In other words, for all of us in the crowd – this could be our moment. Explore investments.

Spring is famously a time for growth, and last month StartEngine did just that. Here’s March in review.

The Topline

Equity crowdfunding publication KingsCrowd clocked StartEngine at $10.4M raised under Reg. CF and $2.6M raised under Reg. A+ in March. Put together, that’s a total of $13M and an 18% lift over February’s numbers ($11M between Reg. CF & A+ combined).

What’s the difference between Reg. CF & Reg A+?

Nice start to spring – we know, but how does that stack up to the competition? Again per KingsCrowd, fellow platform Wedunder finished the month at $11.1M raised; meanwhile Republic notched $3.9M in investments. Zooming out to all of 2023, StartEngine is close to a $5M lead.

Unprecedented: Are We Entering a New Funding Environment?

A new report from Crunchbase found that global venture investing dropped by an eye-popping $86 billion YoY in the first quarter. Not only were overall dollars invested down, according to the report deal volume – i.e. the number of funded offers – fell by a staggering 45% as well. All of which leaves a gaping hole for thousands of founders.

How to explain such a drastic decline? Well, we asked none other than StartEngine’s Strategic Advisor Kevin O’Leary himself.*** Per Mr. Wonderful, looming recession concerns combined with shocks to the system – like Silicon Valley Bank’s abrupt demise – have institutional investors increasingly looking to protect their existing portfolios. Odds are that also means they’re adding far fewer new investments.

Could equity crowdfunding be a port in the storm? We certainly think it is. Apparently, so do many founders. Applications to raise capital on StartEngine shot up in Q1, culminating in 82 new offers on our platform. By the way, nine of those offerings have already crossed the $1 million mark. Explore investments.

Here today, gone tomorrow. The shortest month of the year has drawn to a close, and although we only had 28 to get it done, the equity crowdfunding industry posted growth (of which, StartEngine accounted for a sizable portion). Here’s February in review.

The Topline

According to KingsCrowd – think Bloomberg for online startup investing – $32.1M was invested in Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg. CF) offers in February. That’s a 50% jump MoM from January. Meanwhile, a respectable $5M was invested in Regulation A+ (Reg. A+) offers, for a combined total of $37.1M.

What’s the difference between Reg. CF & Reg A+?

How did StartEngine fare, you ask? Again, per KingsCrowd, $11M was invested on our platform between Reg. CF & Reg. A+ combined. In other words, we accounted for nearly a third of the industry total. That also makes us the pack leader for 2023 YTD.

42% of, say…a pizza is probably too much, but StartEngine took a HUGE bite out of a different kind of pie this month. A record number of companies earned our “Hot Off the Press” award, and the transportation sector raised some serious dough. Here’s January in review.

The Topline

Industry wide, regulation crowdfunding offers (Reg. CF) finished January at $21.1M raised, a slight bump over December. Meanwhile, offers under Reg. CF’s “older cousin” Regulation A+ (Reg. A+) clocked $5M. At least, that’s according to KingsCrowd – they track this stuff.*

Let’s talk about that 42%. Again, per KingsCrowd, in January StartEngine brought in $11M in funding between Reg. CF and Reg. A+ combined. Before you whip out your pocket calculator – yes, that’s 42% of the reported total.* It also puts us more than $4M ahead of the runner up.

2022 has officially drawn to a close. That means, in addition to everyone trying to collectively remember the words to Auld Lang Syne, the numbers from Q4 are out. And not to toot our own horn, StartEngine led competitors Wefunder and Republic for the quarter…again. Oh, and by the way – we beat them for the entirety of 2022, too.

According to KingsCrowd (they track this sort of thing),* the equity crowdfunding industry added $18.6M in regulation crowdfunding (Reg. CF) investments in December and $17.6M in investments under regulation A+ (Reg. A+). All told, that’s $36.2M total or just under 30% of funding commitments for the entire quarter – which clocked in at $123M industry-wide.

As for StartEngine, we finished the quarter at $33.9M in investments through Reg. CF and Reg. A+ combined through our funding portal and broker-dealer, respectively. How does that stack up to the competition? We’re glad you asked because it puts us well ahead of Wefunder at $23.9M and Republic at just $17.2M raised for the quarter. We’d call that a comfortable finish to another year in the lead.

Industries Topping the Funding Ladder in Q4:

Everyone loves holiday movies – or so it would seem based on the Q4 investment totals for Media, Entertainment & Publishing companies. Across the industry, they took home over $16.6M in funding between Reg. CF and Reg. A+ combined. Real Estate & Construction companies spent yet another quarter at the top of the leaderboard with a grand total of $14.1M in funding. Rounding out the top three are Healthcare & Pharmaceutical companies, who clocked in at $13.4M for the quarter.

Remember when Nike opened a store in the metaverse? Yeah – that was already over a year ago…

 

2022 has been jam-packed with near unprecedented volatility in public and private markets, a slew of now-fallen unicorns, and some of the most shocking headlines to ever hit startup investing. 

But as StartEngine CEO and former Activision co-founder ($70B acquisition by Microsoft) Howard Marks likes to say, where there’s volatility, there’s opportunity. Well, this year StartEngine has moved onto offense and seized A LOT of opportunities. So, without further ado, here are 22 highlights from (you guessed it) 2022.

By the Numbers:

1) $189+ Million 

That’s how much money we’ve helped startups raise so far this year. How does it stack up to the competition, you ask? That puts us head and shoulders above competitors like Wefunder ($143M raised as of November) and Republic ($78M raised as of November).*

2) 184,000+ New Users

That’s the number of people who signed up for StartEngine in 2022. In October, we officially passed 1 million users on our platform. Not to mention another 700,000 coming from our upcoming acquisition (more on that shortly).

3) 20,000+ Startups

That’s how many companies have already applied to raise a round of capital on StartEngine this year. By the way, that demand has spiked 35% in just the last 3 months – not that we’re surprised.

Joining Forces:

4) Teaming up with Indiegogo

In August, StartEngine became the first and only online investment platform to team up with the rewards based crowdfunding giant. The move creates a rather massive opportunity for Indiegogo’s 800k founders and 11M backers to launch follow-on rounds on StartEngine.

 

5) StartEngine to Acquire SeedInvest****

In a “seismic shift of consolidation,” this fall we agreed to acquire our competitor SeedInvest. The merger could go a long way toward making us a distant first in equity crowdfunding. By just how much? Well, put together we’ll have 1.7 million users and a grand total of $1.1 billion in lifetime funding.

 

6) Let’s Talk Exits

Startup investing is famously all about the exit. And by acquiring SeedInvest, we’re lightyears ahead. Combined, we’ve notched a whopping 37 exits to date. That’s more than 10X the number of exits of two of Wefunder and Republic per Crunchbase.

 

Join us and invest as we open a new chapter for equity crowdfunding.

Big Moments:

7) Biggest. Week. Ever…X3

StartEngine hit an all-time high for funds raised in a week three times this year. We raised $8.8 million the 2nd week of February. Then we smashed that record with $10 million raised the 1st week of April, only to top it again the last week of August at $10.6 million.

 

8) The Ten-Millions Club

In 2022, four companies surpassed $10 million in funding in a single round, entering the prestigious “Ten Millions Club.” The inductees? Knightscope, Monogram Orthopedic, Boxabl, and StartEngine itself – we officially crossed $10 million in our OWN raise last week.

 

9) Inc. 5000

We were inducted into more than one club this year: Inc. Magazine officially named us to its list of the 5000 fastest growing businesses in the US. How did we rank? StartEngine made the Top 25% of all companies on the list and the Top 100 for financial services.

Growing Our Side Hustles:

10) $3.6 Million

Revenue from StartEngine’s Owner’s Bonus program spiked 80% to $3.6 million in the first three quarters. Need a refresh? Owner’s Bonus members automatically receive 10% bonus shares on qualifying investments – which covers 95% of companies on StartEngine.

 

11) One Investment, $20k-Worth of Bonus Shares

Speaking of, in one of our largest Owner’s Bonus payouts ever, a member of the program earned $20,000 in bonus shares from a single investment. That’s quite a payout on a $275 annual membership.

 

Say you invest $1,000 in Company X. You’d get $1,000 + 10% = $1,100-worth of shares.

 

12) 14,000+ New Scouts

When we say we believe in the power of the crowd, we mean it. That’s why we pay fellow investors up to $4,000 to refer founders to StartEngine. Our army of Scouts is growing too – over 14,000 people have joined the program in 2022 alone.

 

13) 4,000 Startups Referred

How are those Scouts doing, you ask? So far this year, they’ve referred close to 4,000 companies – that’s a fifth of all the businesses which applied to raise.

 

Know a founder? Start Scouting today.

Ways We Got Better in 2022:

14) Those New Offer Pages…They’re Working

No doubt, you’ve seen it – we made major product enhancement to modernize our campaign pages and boost speed. The result? Dollars invested per visitor jumped an astonishing 77% site-wide.

15) A Novel Way to Invest in Collectibles

2022 brought a lot of firsts, including our first ever Bordeaux Wine Collection. We curated an assortment of 495 top Bordeaux Wines into a single investment opportunity, making it easier for prospective investors to diversify within the asset class.***

16) $650,000+ in Perks for Founders

We’re, well…kind of obsessed with helping entrepreneurs achieve their dreams (it’s why we do what we do). One of the biggest ways we got better for founders in 2022: new perks from our partners collectively worth an astounding $650,000.

Regulation Matters:

17) Becoming a Carrying Broker-Dealer

This year, StartEngine officially passed all of the regulatory hurdles to become a carrying broker-dealer, which…is a big deal. Why? Well, that allows us to offer many of the same conveniences you’d find on major trading platforms like Robinhood or eTrade.

18) StartEngine Accounts Are HERE

A prime example of said conveniences: StartEngine Accounts. Unlike other equity crowdfunding platforms, you can now create a SIPC-insured brokerage account directly on StartEngine. That means no third party needed to invest or trade your shares.

19) Invest from Sea to Shining Sea

One of the biggest challenges to launching a startup investing platform? Meeting all of the regulatory requirements for each of the 50 states. And, as of October, StartEngine can officially accept investments from across the country.

Growing Team StartEngine

20) 42 New Hires

They say it takes a village to raise a startup…OK, maybe they don’t say that but you get the point. We added 42 new team members this year to make sure we’re poised to seize on even more opportunities in 2023.

21) 6,400+ StartEngine Shareholders

None of this year’s highlights would have been possible without the support of fellow investors who decided to become Owner’s in StartEngine itself. And in 2022 alone over 6,400 everyday people like you joined our mission to reshape finance.

Want in? Become a shareholder today.

The post 2022 Year In Review appeared first on StartEngine.

Now that the dust has settled on November, the official numbers for the month are in. The big story? StartEngine led the pack by a, quite frankly, huge margin accounting for more than a third of all funds raised across the industry.

Per KingsCrowd*, industry wide regulation crowdfunding offers (Reg. CF) finished the month at $24M in funding. Meanwhile, Regulation A+ (Reg. A+) offers clocked in at $8M in funding. Combined, that’s a total of $32M raised on platforms tracked by the publication.

As for StartEngine, fundraising on our platform accounted for $11.8M of said $32M – with $9.9M in funds raised for Reg. CF and $1.9M raised for Reg. A+. That’s nearly 37% of the industry total, and puts us way out in front of the rest of the pack.
