Congratulations @RickCaruso! You demonstrated what real leadership looks like on the debate stage tonight. You have my vote in November!

This is timely for founders too: Rewards-based crowdfunding has long been fertile ground for VCs searching for investment opportunities; however, amid market volatility institutional investors are pulling back. Now those companies will be able to continue raising on StartEngine.

Together, these two platforms have raised a collective total of over $2.55B so far, and the ecosystem working together has the potential to rival the funding resources of VCs and angel investors. #crowdfunding

This ongoing joint project gives StartEngine access to a massive new deal flow of the companies that got their start on Indiegogo AND its community of users, who are already familiar with crowdfunding.

Indiegogo is one of the largest crowdfunding platforms in the world with a community of over 11M users and a lifetime fundraising total of $2B raised on behalf of 800,000+ founders.
