Start Engine Reviews

I made 3 separate investments into 1 company (PaQui Tequila) at the end of 2020 and early 2021 through Start Engine. I was very enthusiastic about my investment but that enthusiasm left soon after my investments because there is no way to contact this company even though they still produce the product. I believe the company was just a scam.

I used to think that Kevin O'leary had some integrity. No more!

If he's gotten a penny from my investment, he's made more than I have.

I hate Start Engine!

I made an investment in Flower Turbines through Start Engine. A year later I switched my email address. I contacted Start Engine and told them I had a new email. I couldn't find my account because I couldn't remember my old e mail .

I was contacted by Start Engine that they had an account with my name under a different e mail. I had already given them my new e mail. They contacted me again saying I didn't have any investment through them.

Yet I got a letter from Flower Turbine about a certificate of merger. If I didn't have an investment in their company I wouldn't have gotten this letter. I think Start Engine doesn't care about helping anyone out.

Totally useless. , Scam call it whatever you like , they take your money for 6 months play around with it then say that you haven't reached there requirements.

I'm cursed with optimism for the possiblity of hittin' a good investment early. I almost invested a third time but card payment didn't go thru and i had buyers remorse. I have a position I'm prepared to lose at Robbinhood so what's the risk. those juicer kiosk feels right...

Good luck and remember to read the dang legal stuff.

I have been a customer for 2 years. I have invested in several opportunities. Out of nowhere I receive a letter telling me that my account has been closed. I cant log in any more and all my money is missing and I cant get an answer as to where it has gone... I've never had any issues and they wont tell me what the problem is. BEWARE. All my money is gone....

Start engines secondary did not work for a long time with them coming up with excuses. Finely I find only one company on the secondary marketplace which happens to be Start Engines. Where are the others??? I have made investments with two companies with a total of just over $20,000. I follow both of them and look at others for possible investments. However every time I turn around Start Engine will decide to make some sort of change which screws things up. They make it difficult to search for a company. They need on every page to have a search bar and not have to figure out how to get to it. Now they have moved a basic information section which was located at the top so an investor could easily see it ASAP. What moron decided to move it?

I can't understand what happens to my money after I invest in Start Engine. Do I need to invest in the individual companies to be invested or if I don't pick any am I invested in all of them or the start engine company itself?

I tried several times to contact them and I only got computer generated items that don't answer any of my questions.

I have asked for them to call me so I could talk to someone from Start Engine but no one will call me I am very worried about my investment in them.

I deposited $1000 thinking I'll use it to invest in a startup. When I tried to invest, it told me I had to use fund from my bank directly.

So now I have $1000 sitting in there and can't be used. I also tried withdrawing the money since Im in need of it, but it says that they are in the middle of a system transfer. It's been like that for half a year now.

If you were a little more transparent I would invest in it. As of right now I have to do more research. But I love this idea! Why didn't I think of it. We need to know as small cap investors; how far down the road would we see returns; when are you going public; what cities and localities are you operating in? Help us trust this investment. Thank you.

For less then $3,000.00 I have been able to invest in 8 different start ups. Years ago it would have cost me at least $5,000.00 to invest in one.

I have not been in contact directly with any of the companies because at this moment I have no questions.

I have spoken to a member of Start Engine when I first signed up and decided to invest in Start Engine. Now that investment gives me equity in every company they help the 8 I have directly invested in. So although it is too soon to say, I feel in the long run I may have hot a home run with this plat form. Only time will tell.

Mr. Wonderful from CNBC’s Shark Tank sends all his companies to raise money here, and is invested in the StartEngine platform itself. They respond to customer inquiries within 24hrs (though weekends you have to wait until Monday). Once you invest in something through its campaign page you have to log back into the regular site to view your account. Their site lets you print a stock certificate for your records but they keep the legal copy in electronic format. From start to finish once you put in your info and payment then it takes about a week to settle out.

company will sell you anything. However when you try to sell your stock, its one excuse after the other. Better to actually burn your money

I have 3 investments with Start Engine. When you invest, there is a warning that you have 24 hours to cancel. I invested with Med-X on June 30. Art, with Med-X, contacted me on July 30 to possibly invest again. I did and canceled 5 hours later. The next day, Art called again asking if I was having any problems with transaction. I told him that I cancelled.

Apparently, Art disregarded the cancellation and billed me another $500. After several unreturned calls, I am starting on the complaint trail.

Buyer Beware:Med-X totally unethical!
