Not happy
I ‘invested’ a few K about a year ago. I don’t like it at all. You send your money and you can see ‘digital certificate’ and get bunch of emails in return. Pretty sure I been scammed.

They have informed me that my account has been closed after 2 years. No issues ever. They will not communicate a reason and I dont know where my money has gone as I have investments in several companies....Nonexistent communications other than form letters. Next stop...Federal Trade commission.

Very easy to invest with just a few questions and cheap share price. O'Leary, and Shark Tank in general, mainly annoy me because he/they didn't buy in to the Hamper Helper. That device should've been a no-brainer because it would help countless people do a simple load of laundry without killing their backs bending over.

I love knowing I’m investing in something Kevin O’Leary invests in. It’s got to be a winner.

StartEngine makes it so easy to invest in a startup company. It only took a few minutes after I previewed a few of the companies I had an interest in.
