New Startup Investing Platform Beats Robinhood And Webull By A Mile, Letting Anyone Invest In Startups, Collectibles And A New Mini Startups Stock Market

The world's largest companies began as startups, and their meteoric rise often skyrocketed the founders to excessive levels of wealth. 

Until 2016, it was illegal for everyday investors to invest in high-growth startups. Thanks to changes in federal law, anyone can invest in startups on the startup investing platform StartEngine, including investing in StartEngine itself.

Robinhood Markets Inc. helped pioneer the democratization of stock market investing for retail investors. But the fundamental issue with the stock market is that by the time a stock reaches the open markets, much of the gains are already gone. StartEngine allows investors to own a stake in companies at their earliest stages so they can capture the gains from the billions made before an initial public offering (IPO).  

StartEngine takes 2% of the amount nearly every company raises on the platform. This means the company already has a portfolio of hundreds of startups for those looking to invest in a diversified fund. 

The company continues to expand as it looks to become a one-stop shop for alternative investments. Along with startup investments, the company allows anyone to invest in fractionalized collectibles. These include investments in wine, trading cards, art and watches. Some offerings include paintings from Picasso and Banksy, Batman comics and Rolex watches. 

As investors build their portfolios, the private markets often lack liquidity. Because of this, StartEngine recently launched "Marketplace," where investors can buy and sell shares in startups. This means investors get liquidity, and StartEngine has another revenue stream.

The company boasts popular Shark Tank star Kevin O’Leary as a spokesperson and investor. While platforms like Robinhood and Webull helped to democratize investing in the public markets, StartEngine is democratizing the private markets and alternative investments. With over 1 million investors and hundreds of millions raised, the platform continues to make waves in the equity crowdfunding space.
