About StartEngine
StartEngine is the FinTech powerhouse driving the future of fundraising and alternative investing. StartEngine was founded by Howard Marks, the co-founder of Activision (now valued at over $75B), with the goal of helping entrepreneurs achieve their dreams by removing funding barriers. Howard partnered with co-founder Ron Miller, a veteran entrepreneur and early advocate of equity crowdfunding, to build a platform that democratizes access to capital. In 2020, StartEngine welcomed Shark Tank judge and serial entrepreneur Kevin O’Leary (aka Mr. Wonderful) as Strategic Advisor and Investor. Since its inception, StartEngine has helped over 550 companies raise more than $1.5B from retail investors, with investments starting at as little as $100.
Why merely back a company when you can own a piece of it?
Do you enjoy helping others? Are you the “go to person”? Would your friends and family describe you as friendly and curious? We really should talk...
Caring about the well-being of our investors is at our core, and we want to talk to people who share our passion. Yes, we are in the finance industry, but definitely not in the old-fashioned way you might be thinking. At StartEngine, customer service is our top priority. We will teach you the industry but your unwavering dedication to customers and colleagues should come naturally.
