In today’s agenda..
If you missed our previous Tales, here are some to check out:
StartEngine’s $30M Surge — Own a Piece Before June 26
Private markets are having a moment, thanks to companies like StartEngine.
The leading alternative investing platform is helping everyday investors like you access deals once reserved for VCs and insiders, including exposure to private market titans like OpenAI, Databricks, and Perplexity.¹
How’s it going? In Q1 2025, StartEngine pulled off $30M in revenue, its biggest quarter ever (based on unaudited financials).²
But StartEngine isn’t just a middleman. The company earns 20% carried interest on select pre-IPO offerings, unlocking value for shareholders when these deals succeed.³
How can you tap into this diversification play? By investing in StartEngine.
StartEngine has crowdfunded $85M+ to date, and you can join 45K+ shareholders before the company’s current round closes on June 26.
Reg A+ via StartEngine Crowdfunding, Inc. No BD/intermediary involved. Investment is speculative, illiquid & high risk. See OC and Risks on page.
How many times have you, your mom, wife, grandpa entered a super market just to be stuck in front of the tomatoes and bananas, judging them one by one like Simon Cowell in America’s Got Talent? We are all guilty of rejecting the ugliest of the bunch, but have you wondered what happens next.?
