Hi Jodel! Thank you for your review! We’re glad you find our portal easy to use and our customer support helpful. Your feedback is much appreciated!
I have invested a small chunk of money in cytonics; but it was a lot of money to me. I don't have enough information as to how I will ever earn money from my investment and my portfolio says I have no cash at hand and only reflects my $2063.00 investment. When will I ever get ahead. Isn't this why people invest in the first place?

Hi Roman! Every investment on StartEngine has unique terms. For details regarding a particular investment, please refer to that company's campaign page. These investments are typically longer-term (5+ years) and not immediately liquidating. In accordance with SEC regulations, we are not permitted to provide financial advice or predict any return on your investment.

StartEngine makes investing and learning about investing easy for average person. It enables one to ask questions to startup founders for startups one is considering investing in. Do your own research though, because like other crowd funding platforms, there is limited screening of companies that are listed on there and so there is high amount of risk.

Hi Francis! Thank you for your review! We're glad you find StartEngine user-friendly for investing and learning. We are thankful that you are sharing your experience and knowledge with other investors. We appreciate your feedback! Thank you and have a great day!
StartEngine makes crowd funding through equity a real thing. Raising capital like this was always reserved for the biggest companies. The rest of us, as startups, don't really have many places to go. Now we do. And they recently merged with another company so they have a huge list of investors!
